Fauglia, the Pisan Hills between Pisa and Livorno

Fauglia lies in the Colline Pisane, the low hills that separate the Arno plain from the hills inland from Livorno. The village occupies a hilltop under a hundred metres high, surrounded by wheat fields, vineyards, olive groves and scattered farms. Pisa and Livorno are the cities people rely on, both a short drive away.

It is chosen by people who want the Tuscan countryside without moving far from the coast and the two cities. The market includes village houses, detached homes and above all farmhouses and smallholdings, some already restored, others waiting to be: with a farmhouse, check access, private roads, water supply, drainage and the planning permits for work done over the years. Average declared incomes are close to the average for the province of Pisa.

The population is stable: 3,620 residents in 2023, 0.8% more than in 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. It is older than the provincial average, though, with an average age of 48.3 against 46.9 and over-65s at 26.9%. Foreign residents make up 6.6%.

All 37 municipalities in the province of Pisa are in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department's scale, and in Fauglia the expected ground acceleration is about 0.140 g. The hazard is moderate, but in stone and brick farmhouses a surveyor should look at the walls, roof beams and timber floors.

The Pisan Hills have clay and sandy soils that can move on slopes: the report checks the landslide maps at the address and, in low areas and near drainage ditches, the flood maps. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report works from the address to the land parcel.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Fauglia is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. All 37 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.140 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.

Compared with the 2011 census, the number of residents is nearly unchanged. The estimated average age is 48 years, in line with the province. 27% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 26%). Foreign residents make up 6.6% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.

Fauglia is in climate zone D, with 1,682 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 1 November to 15 April, for up to 12 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 91 metres above sea level.

Official databases list one contaminated site, or site still under investigation, in Fauglia. 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 Fauglia: 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.

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.
