Overview
Montaldeo is a municipality in the province of Alessandria, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 208 residents, among the smallest in the province (170 of 187).
Earthquakes
For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Montaldeo is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (127 of 187) are in the same zone.
In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.082 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.
Landslides and flooding
Landslide and flood risk changes from one street to the next, even within the same municipality: for this reason we do not summarise it as a single figure for the whole of Montaldeo.
The report checks the exact address against the ISPRA national maps and tells you in plain words whether the building falls within an at-risk area. The official map is also available on IdroGEO.
House prices
We do not publish price tables by municipality. The report gives the minimum and maximum price per square metre for the address's zone, from the Revenue Agency's OMI valuations, with the reference half-year. It is a range for the zone, not the value of a specific home.
Population
Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 28.5%. The estimated average age is 55 years, higher than the province average (49). 39% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 10.1% of the population. On average, a household has 1.8 members.
Public transport
We do not yet have open public transport timetables for this municipality: the report says so explicitly, without inventing distances.
Land registry
The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps for Montaldeo: the report finds the building's parcel, that is its sheet and parcel number, starting from the address.
