Leini, the plain north of Turin towards Caselle

Leini is a flat municipality just north of Turin, in the ring of towns that grew up around the city between Settimo Torinese, Volpiano and Caselle airport. The old farming village has expanded with housing estates and business and retail areas, and many residents work in Turin or in firms on the city's outskirts.

The land is level, so choosing a home comes down to distance from busy roads and industrial zones rather than views or gradient. Most people drive into the city; the Turin ring road and the motorway to Aosta are close by. Recent decades have brought terraced houses and small blocks of flats alongside the old farmsteads (cascine) and village houses.

The population is growing: 16,232 residents at the end of 2023, 709 more than in 2011, a rise of 4.6% (Istat, the national statistics office). Leini is younger than the Turin area as a whole, with an estimated average age of 45.1 against 47.4, and over-65s at 23.0% against 26.4%. Foreign residents account for 7.5%. Average incomes are a little below the metropolitan area.

Overture Maps data show plenty of sports facilities for a town this size, 21 in all, or 1.29 per 1,000 residents against 0.81 in the province, and supermarkets are also denser than average. Schools on record are few, just 6.

Leini is in seismic zone 3, like 270 other municipalities in the province, but on the plain the expected ground acceleration is low, about 0.050 g. Build quality and the energy rating count for more, given cold, foggy winters. Flood hazard along the plain's watercourses and the plot on the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) maps are checked for the exact address in the report.

Overview

Leini is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 16,232 residents, among the most populous in the province (22 of 312).

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Leini is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. 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 0.050 g, a low 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 grown by 4.6%. The estimated average age is 45 years, lower than the province average (47). 23% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 7.5% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.

Leini is in climate zone E, with 2,722 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 245 metres above sea level.

Public transport

Radon and contaminated sites

Leini 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 7 contaminated sites, or sites still under investigation, in Leini. 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 Leini: 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 Leini 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.
