Gravere, mountain hamlets just above Susa

Gravere is one of the municipalities of the Susa valley, a little upstream of the town of Susa, where the valley of the Dora starts to narrow towards the French border. The houses do not form a single centre: the municipality is made up of hamlets spread across the mountainside at different heights, linked by roads that climb in hairpin bends.

This matters a great deal to a buyer. From one hamlet to the next, sun exposure, gradient, winter access and distance from the valley road all change. Gravere is in heating zone F, the coldest category: insulation, the type of heating and the state of the roof weigh on the cost of a house as much as the price. Susa, very close by, has the main services, while Turin means travelling the length of the valley.

In 2023 there were 661 residents, down 7.6% on the 715 of 2011. The average age is 53.1, against 47.4 in the metropolitan city of Turin, and over-65s make up 33.1% of residents, compared with 26.4%. Foreign residents are 6.7%. Average declared income is below the provincial average.

Gravere is in seismic zone 3, like 271 of the 312 municipalities around Turin, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.134 g. In the old stone houses of the hamlets, have an engineer check the floors, roof and wall connections, even when the house has already been renovated.

On an Alpine slope, landslides and gradient depend on the precise spot: the report reads them for the address on the official maps, not as an average for the municipality. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes Gravere's cadastral maps, so the report goes from the address to the land parcel.

Key points

  • Hamlets spread over the mountainside, just upstream of Susa.
  • Heating zone F: check insulation and heating first.
  • 661 residents, down 7.6% since 2011.
  • Seismic zone 3, expected acceleration about 0.134 g.

Overview

Gravere is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 661 residents, ranked 237 of 312 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Gravere is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. The region uses a finer breakdown: here the classification is 3S. 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 0.134 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 7.6%. The estimated average age is 53 years, higher than the province average (47). 33% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 6.7% of the population. On average, a household has 1.8 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Gravere declared an average taxable income of 22,917 euros, below the provincial average (27,231 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Gravere is in climate zone F, with 3,585 heating degree days, with no limits on when heating may be used. The same table puts the town hall at 821 metres above sea level.

The data shows no schools within the municipality, against a provincial average of 0.8 per 1,000 residents.

Public transport

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 3.0% of the land in Gravere, 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

Gravere 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 no contaminated sites in Gravere.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Gravere: 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 Gravere 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 15 inhabited census areas in Gravere. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 60 or more.
