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 del Fante 5, Corrido.

Corrido, above Porlezza between Lake Lugano and Switzerland

A short uphill road links Porlezza, at the Italian end of Lake Lugano, with Corrido, on the slopes a little way from the Swiss border. The village is at about 480 metres, among meadows and woods, with mountains all around; below lies the Porlezza plain with everyday shops and services, while for hospital and larger offices people head towards Menaggio or Como.

What sets Corrido apart is age: the population is young, with an average age of 43.2 against 46.3 for the province of Como, and over-65s at 18.5%, compared with 24.1% provincially. Households average 2.36 people. At the end of 2023 there were 847 residents, slightly more than the 841 of 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office; foreign residents are 4.8%.

House hunters will find village houses, detached homes and houses with gardens on the slopes. Sun exposure, winter access and heating all count: the climate is zone E. Streams run down the hillsides and the ground is steep, so landslide and flood hazard should be checked on the official maps for the exact address, which the report does starting from the street.

Earthquakes are not a major concern in the province of Como: all 147 municipalities are in seismic zone 4, the lowest, and the expected ground acceleration here is about 0.039 g. In stone houses, damp, the roof and insulation weigh more.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps for Corrido, and the report finds the land parcel from the address.

Overview

Corrido is a municipality in the province of Como, in Lombardia. At the end of 2023 it had 847 residents, ranked 111 of 147 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Corrido is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. All 147 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.039 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.

The estimated average age is 43 years, lower than the province average (46). 19% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 4.8% of the population. On average, a household has 2.4 members.
