The report looks at the exact point: landslide and flood risk, seismic zone, price per square metre for the area, services and nearby stops.

For example: Via Torino 1, Nole.

Nole, between Ciriè and the mouth of the Lanzo valleys

Nole belongs to the Ciriè plain north of Turin, where the flat land starts to narrow towards the Lanzo valleys and the first mountains are close at hand. The town hall stands at around three hundred and seventy metres. It is a place of detached houses and small villas, with a compact old centre and newer residential areas on the edges.

For those working in Turin there is the Turin to Ceres railway, which stops at Nole and passes Turin's Caselle airport; by car you head down to Ciriè and the ring road. Ciriè remains the reference point for many services.

At the end of 2023 the town had 6,705 residents according to Istat, the national statistics office, down 3.0% since 2011. The estimated average age of 47.0 is close to the metropolitan city's 47.4, and over-65s make up 25.6%. Foreign residents account for 5.7%. Declared incomes are slightly below the provincial average.

In the province of Turin the most common seismic zone in the Civil Protection classification is zone 3: it covers 271 of 312 municipalities, Nole included, while the other 41 are in zone 4. Expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.059 g, a low value. In the old houses of the centre, look first at the roof, damp in the walls and the heating and electrics.

This is climate zone E, with long winters, so heating costs and the energy rating weigh on the budget more than in towns further down the plain. With streams and canals around, flood hazard is read for the individual address, and the report does this alongside the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, which are published for Nole too.

Key points

  • Ciriè plain, at the mouth of the Lanzo valleys.
  • Turin to Ceres railway and Caselle airport nearby.

Overview

Nole is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 6,705 residents, ranked 49 of 312 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Nole 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 0.059 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 3.0%. The estimated average age is 47 years, in line with the province. 26% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 5.7% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Nole declared an average taxable income of 25,406 euros, below the provincial average (27,231 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Nole is in climate zone E, with 2,948 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 372 metres above sea level.

There are 0.4 schools per 1,000 residents, fewer than the province average (0.8).

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 17.1% of the land in Nole, compared with 8.6% in the province and 6.7% in the region. In 2024 built-up land stayed almost the same.

Radon and contaminated sites

Nole 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 2 contaminated sites, or sites still under investigation, in Nole, and 2 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 Nole: 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 Nole 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 58 inhabited census areas in Nole. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 69 or more.
