Malagnino, a growing village on the edge of Cremona

Malagnino is a municipality on the Cremona plain, east of the provincial capital, and so close to Cremona that for many residents the city is where they work, go to school and run errands. The land is flat and farmed, with the main village and a few hamlets separated by fields.

It has grown in recent years as a residential area. Istat, the national statistics office, counts 1,756 residents in 2023, up 15.1% on 2011, or 231 more people. It is young for the province, with an average age of 43.4 against 46.8 and over-65s at 18.9%. Foreign residents make up 7.2% and households have 2.44 members on average. Declared incomes are above the average for the province of Cremona.

The housing reflects that growth: alongside the farmsteads and houses of the old centre there are detached and terraced homes and small blocks of flats built recently. With a newer house, look at the energy rating and the quality of the finish; with a farmhouse, at the structure and the roof. The climate zone is E, so winters are cold and foggy.

For getting around, public transport data list 1 stops in the municipality, served by 2 railway lines and 1 bus line; the report measures the distance from the address to the nearest stop.

Malagnino is in seismic zone 3, like all 113 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration of 0.081 g. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and for each parcel the report also checks the official flood maps.
