Mattie, on the slopes of the Susa valley

Above the floor of the Susa valley, where the railway to Turin and the Fréjus motorway run, Mattie covers a stretch of mountainside with meadows, woods and hamlets at different heights; the town hall stands at about 730 metres. It is a mountain municipality in climate zone F, with long cold winters and the heating on for much of the year.

Its position has one practical advantage: from the village you drive down to the valley floor, and from there train and motorway lead to Turin. Someone working in the city can therefore consider a house here, as long as they allow for snow, uphill roads and heating costs. Houses range from stone buildings in the hamlets to more recent detached homes, with big differences in how much winter sun they get.

Mattie had 683 residents in 2023, 3.4% fewer than the 707 of 2011, a modest fall. The estimated average age is 49.0, against 47.4 for the metropolitan city of Turin, and over-65s make up 26.9%. Households are small, 1.87 people on average; foreign residents are 5.0%. Average declared incomes are below those of the metropolitan area.

The municipality is in seismic zone 3, like 270 other municipalities in the Turin area, while 41 are in zone 4. Expected acceleration in the village is about 0.135 g. For a stone house, ask about work on the roof and floors; on the slopes, the report checks the official landslide maps and the flood maps along the streams for the exact location.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for Mattie, and the report links the address to the building.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Mattie 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 0.135 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 3.4%. The estimated average age is 49 years, higher than the province average (47). 27% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 5.0% of the population. On average, a household has 1.9 members.

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 12 inhabited census areas in Mattie. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 60 or more.
