Labico, on the Via Casilina south-east of Rome

Labico is a town on the Via Casilina, south-east of Rome, in the band of hills between the Alban Hills and the Prenestini mountains. The historic centre is small; around it, over recent decades, estates of detached houses and low-rise blocks have grown up, largely lived in by families who moved out from the capital and from towns closer to Rome in search of cheaper housing.

Life here revolves around Rome, some forty kilometres away, and the Valmontone junction on the A1 motorway is a few minutes' drive. For commuters, what counts is how far the home is from the Casilina and what the journey is really like at rush hour, which varies a lot from one part of town to another; the report measures how far schools, pharmacies and shops are from the address.

This is one of the growing towns in the province: 6,427 residents at the end of 2023 according to Istat, the national statistics office, 7.5% more than in 2011. The population is young for Lazio, with an average age of 42.6 against 46.0 for the metropolitan area and over-65s at 17.1%. Households average 2.40 people and foreign residents account for 10.4%. Declared incomes are well below the provincial average, though that average includes Rome.

Labico is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection scale, like 97 of the 121 municipalities in the metropolitan area, and the expected ground acceleration is about 0.170 g. In blocks from the 1970s and 1980s, look at the structural design and the sign-off certificate; for newer houses, ask which seismic standards the design follows.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report goes from the street number to the land parcel, checking landslide and flood hazard at the exact spot. In climate zone D the winters are mild, but damp can be felt in the hills: in ground-floor homes, check the walls and window frames.

Key points

  • Growing town on the Via Casilina, close to the Valmontone motorway exit.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Labico is in seismic zone 2, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible. The region uses a finer breakdown: here the classification is 2B. Most municipalities in the province (97 of 121) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.170 g, a medium-high value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

For anyone buying in Labico, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.

The estimated average age is 43 years, lower than the province average (46). 17% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 23%). Foreign residents make up 10.4% of the population.

Liveability area by area
