Mirano, the hub of the countryside between Mestre and Padua

Mirano is the main town of the Miranese, the stretch of Venetian countryside that faces towards Padua, and it serves the villages around it with a hospital, secondary schools, public offices and a market. The centre is built around the main square and the park of Villa Belvedere, and the surrounding land is dotted with Venetian villas, the country houses that Venice's wealthy families built on the mainland.

Mestre and Padua are both a manageable drive away, and for people moving out of the Venice area Mirano is a common choice for more space. The market is mostly detached and terraced houses and small blocks of flats, with a few period houses in the centre and country houses in the outlying villages.

There were 27,078 residents in 2023, up 2.4% on 2011. The population is older than average: 27.7% of residents are over 65, compared with 26.0% in the metropolitan city of Venice, and the estimated average age is 48.4. Foreign nationals make up 6.9%, and declared incomes are above the provincial average.

All 44 municipalities in the metropolitan city are in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection scale, and in Mirano the expected ground acceleration is about 0.093 g, a low value. In houses from the 1970s and 1980s it is more useful to look at insulation, windows and heating, since winters are cold and damp (climate zone E).

The countryside is flat and crossed by channels and small watercourses, so flood risk can change from one street to the next. The report checks the official maps for the exact address and uses the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps to find the land parcel.

Key points

  • Hospital, schools and offices for the whole Miranese area.
  • 27.7% of residents over 65, above the province (26.0%).
  • Seismic zone 3, expected ground acceleration about 0.093 g.

Overview

Mirano is a municipality in the province of Venezia, in Veneto. At the end of 2023 it had 27,078 residents, ranked 6 of 44 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Mirano is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. All 44 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.093 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 grown by 2.4%. The estimated average age is 48 years, in line with the province. 28% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 6.9% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Mirano declared an average taxable income of 28,425 euros, above the provincial average (25,574 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Mirano is in climate zone E, with 2,541 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 9 metres above sea level.

Services

In the official Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health lists, Mirano has 25 schools and 8 pharmacies. The Overture Maps data also lists 8 grocery shops and supermarkets, 23 healthcare facilities, 34 sports facilities and 7 parks and green areas.

There are 0.3 grocery shops and supermarkets per 1,000 residents, fewer than the province average (0.5).

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 24.6% of the land in Mirano, compared with 14.1% in the province and 11.9% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Mirano is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Veneto in 2025. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list 2 contaminated sites, or sites still under investigation, in Mirano, and 3 more have been cleaned up or closed. 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 Mirano: 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 Mirano 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. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 137 inhabited census areas in Mirano. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 65 or more.
