Onore, on the plateau between Clusone and the Presolana

Onore has more residents now than in 2011, which is not a given for a mountain village. In 2023 there were 938, up 10.9% on the 846 counted at the census by Istat, the national statistics institute. The village lies at around 700 metres on the plateau that rises from the Clusone area towards the Presolana massif, in the upper Val Seriana, framed by meadows, woods and mountains.

Buyers here are usually looking either for a year-round home close to the mountains or for a holiday flat in an area busy in both summer and winter. The village is small, but basic services are found in the nearby villages of the plateau, Clusone is the reference for schools and larger shops, and Bergamo is reached by driving down the valley. The climate zone is F: long, cold winters in which heating and insulation weigh on the bills.

The average age is 47.6, against 45.2 in the province of Bergamo; over-65s make up 24.9% and foreign residents 2.6%. Households have 1.95 people on average. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

On earthquakes the picture is uniform: all 243 municipalities in the province of Bergamo are in seismic zone 3, and the expected ground acceleration in Onore is 0.085 g. In a mountain house, look first at the roof, snow load and services.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the municipality's cadastral maps. The report finds the parcel from the address, checks landslide and flood hazard on the official maps and gives elevation, slope and the local price range.
