Lamporo, a village on the Vercelli plain

Flat land, fields as far as the eye can see and a compact centre around the church: Lamporo is a small municipality on the plain of the province of Vercelli, with the town hall at around 165 metres. The village is surrounded mostly by farmland, and those who work elsewhere drive to larger towns and to the cities, Vercelli and Turin among them.

Much of the housing is village houses and farmsteads (cascine), often with a courtyard, haylofts and outbuildings. They offer plenty of space, but the costs need lining up before buying: heating large volumes in climate zone E, the roof, and the damp that easily rises through ground-floor walls on the plain. If you plan to convert a hayloft, check what the local zoning plan allows.

In 2023 there were 483 residents, down 11.5% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age of 46.7 is slightly lower than the province's (48.4), and over-65s are 27.3%, close to the provincial 28.0%. Foreign residents make up 4.1%. Average declared incomes are below the provincial average.

Lamporo is in seismic zone 4, the lowest on the Civil Protection department's national scale, like 80 other municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of about 0.038 g. Earthquakes carry little weight in the choice here.

Water matters more. On a plain crossed by canals and watercourses, flood hazard varies from one area to the next, and the report reads it on the official maps for the exact address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, so the address leads to the land parcel.

Key points

  • Vercelli plain, village houses and farmsteads.
  • 483 residents in 2023, average age 46.7.
  • Seismic zone 4, like 80 other municipalities in the province.
  • Damp and flooding matter more than earthquakes.

Overview

Lamporo is a municipality in the province of Vercelli, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 483 residents, ranked 49 of 82 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Lamporo is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Most municipalities in the province (81 of 82) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.038 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 11.5%. The estimated average age is 47 years, lower than the province average (48). 27% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 4.1% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Lamporo declared an average taxable income of 20,817 euros, below the provincial average (24,991 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Lamporo is in climate zone E, with 2,519 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 165 metres above sea level.

Services

The data shows no schools within the municipality, against a provincial average of 1.1 per 1,000 residents.

Public transport

We do not yet have open public transport timetables for this municipality: the report says so explicitly, without inventing distances.

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 4.0% of the land in Lamporo, compared with 5.0% in the province and 6.7% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Lamporo 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 Lamporo.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Lamporo: 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
