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 Tiberina 1, Collazzone.

Collazzone, Umbrian hills above the Tiber valley

Between Todi and Perugia, in the hills of the middle Tiber valley, Collazzone covers farmland planted with olives, vines and arable crops. The main village is a small walled settlement on high ground, while a large part of the population lives in outlying hamlets, some on the hills and others lower down towards the plain and the main roads.

That split matters to a buyer. In the old village and the hill hamlets you find stone houses, often in need of renovation, and country farmhouses; lower down there are mostly detached houses and newer homes, handier for commuting to Todi, Marsciano or Perugia. Everyday services are available, and for everything else people drive.

There were 3,302 residents in 2023, down 7.7% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age of 46.4 is a little lower than in the province of Perugia (47.4), and over-65s are 25.4%. Foreign residents make up 10.9%, a significant share.

Umbria is an earthquake region and it shows here. Collazzone is in seismic zone 2 of the Civil Protection classification, like 43 other municipalities in the province, while 14 are in zone 1. The expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.166 g. For a farmhouse or a house in the old village, find out whether seismic upgrading has been carried out after the earthquakes of recent decades, and under which building permits.

Cadastral maps are online: the report goes from the address to the land parcel and checks the official maps for slopes and ditches near the house.
