Cisliano, farmsteads and fields west of Milan

Since 2011 Cisliano has grown by 19.9%, reaching 5,112 residents at the end of 2023. It is a choice for families looking for something bigger than a city flat; the average age is 44.3, against 45.6 for the Metropolitan City of Milan. Over-65s make up 21.2%, foreign residents 4.5%.

The municipality lies on the plain west of Milan, between Bareggio, Cusago and Albairate, within the Parco Agricolo Sud Milano, a large protected farming area. Around the village are rice fields, maize, irrigation channels and old farmsteads (cascine), and the park limits new building. New homes are mostly small villas and low blocks on the edge of the centre; in restored cascine there are flats with room to spare and shared courtyards.

The railway does not come here, so anyone commuting to Milan drives, or drives to a station in a neighbouring town. Try the journey at rush hour before you buy. Declared average incomes are below the metropolitan average, which is pulled up by the city itself.

Earthquakes are not an issue here: Cisliano is in seismic zone 4, the lowest on the Civil Protection scale, like 73 municipalities in the Metropolitan City, and expected ground acceleration is about 0.043 g. In the cascine, damp, roofs and wiring and plumbing matter more; in new buildings, the energy rating and sound insulation.

The irrigated plain is crossed by canals and springs, and where the water table is high, cellars and underground garages can take in water. The report checks the official flood maps for the address and, with the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, identifies the plot.

Overview

Cisliano is a municipality in the province of Milano, in Lombardia. At the end of 2023 it had 5,112 residents, ranked 101 of 133 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Cisliano is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Most municipalities in the province (73 of 133) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.043 g, a low value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has grown by 19.9%. The estimated average age is 44 years, in line with the province. 21% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 4.5% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.
