The report looks at the exact point: landslide and flood risk, seismic zone, price per square metre for the area, services and nearby stops.

For example: Via Lanzo 1, Ciriè.

Ciriè, gateway to the Lanzo valleys

Where the Stura di Lanzo river leaves the mountains for the plain north-west of Turin, Ciriè acts as the local centre for the towns between the plain and the mouth of the Lanzo valleys, with a hospital, secondary schools and a compact historic centre, and Turin airport at Caselle is a short distance away.

The Turin to Ceres railway runs through Ciriè and links it with Turin and the airport. For many commuters it is the way to avoid queues on the roads into the city, so buyers should check how far the station is. In town there are flats in apartment blocks near the centre, detached houses in the outer districts and more isolated homes towards the countryside and the first hills. Near the Stura and the canals the report checks flood hazard for the address, because two houses in the same area can be in very different positions.

The population is ageing and slowly shrinking: 18,093 residents in 2023, down 1.7% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office, with an estimated average age of 48.3 and over-65s at 27.9%, above the metropolitan average. Households are small, 2.11 people on average, and foreign nationals make up 6.5%. Cafés, restaurants, sports facilities and healthcare sites are more plentiful per resident than the provincial average, because Ciriè also serves the surrounding towns. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Earthquakes are not a major worry. Ciriè is in zone 3 of the Civil Protection Department's classification together with 270 other municipalities in the province, while the remaining 41 are in zone 4, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.057 g. Insulation and heating deserve more attention than the structure, given the cold, foggy winters. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report finds the land parcel from the address.

Key points

  • Service town between the plain and the Lanzo valleys.

Overview

Ciriè is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 18,093 residents, among the most populous in the province (17 of 312).

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Ciriè is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (271 of 312) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.057 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 1.7%. The estimated average age is 48 years, in line with the province. 28% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 6.5% of the population. On average, a household has 2.1 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Ciriè declared an average taxable income of 25,795 euros, below the provincial average (27,231 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Ciriè is in climate zone E, with 2,870 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 344 metres above sea level.

Services

In the official Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health lists, Ciriè has 15 schools and 6 pharmacies. The Overture Maps data also lists 15 grocery shops and supermarkets, 17 healthcare facilities and 18 sports facilities.

There are 0.8 grocery shops and supermarkets per 1,000 residents, more than the province average (0.5).

Public transport

We do not yet have open public transport timetables for this municipality: the report says so explicitly, without inventing distances.

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 27.0% of the land in Ciriè, compared with 8.6% in the province and 6.7% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Ciriè is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Piemonte in 2023. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list 9 contaminated sites, or sites still under investigation, in Ciriè, and 5 more have been cleaned up or closed. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Ciriè: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Land registry

The cadastral maps for Ciriè are public: from the address the report finds the sheet and parcel number.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 121 inhabited census areas in Ciriè. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 73 or more.
