Ozegna, Canavese plain between Rivarolo and Agliè

Between Rivarolo Canavese and Agliè, in the Canavese area north of Turin, Ozegna is a lowland village at around 300 metres, with the Alps in the background and fields all round. Ivrea is to the north and Turin to the south, both within driving distance; for secondary schools, the hospital and bigger shops people use the nearby towns, Rivarolo above all.

In 2023 there were 1,196 residents, 3.2% fewer than in 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office: a modest fall. The population is a little younger than the provincial average, with an average age of 46.4 against 47.4 in the metropolitan city of Turin and over-65s at 24.1% against 26.4%. Foreign residents make up 3.6%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

The market consists of village houses with courtyards and outbuildings, detached houses with gardens built from the 1970s onwards and a few farmsteads. The climate zone is E: cold, often foggy winters, so insulation, windows and the boiler make a big difference to running costs. In older houses, damp in the ground-floor walls is the first defect to look for.

Earthquakes are a minor issue. Ozegna is in seismic zone 3 of the national classification, like 271 of the 312 municipalities in the province, with an expected ground acceleration in the village of 0.047 g, a low value.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, and the report works back from the address to the land parcel. On a plain crossed by streams and channels, flood hazard is read on the official maps for the exact spot.

Key points

  • Canavese plain between Rivarolo and Agliè.
  • Over-65s at 24.1%, below the provincial 26.4%.
  • Seismic zone 3, expected acceleration 0.047 g.
  • Courtyard houses and detached homes: check insulation and damp.

Overview

Ozegna is a municipality in the province of Torino, in Piemonte. At the end of 2023 it had 1,196 residents, ranked 178 of 312 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Ozegna 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 0.047 g, a low 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 3.2%. The estimated average age is 46 years, in line with the province. 24% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 27%). Foreign residents make up 3.6% of the population. On average, a household has 2.2 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 24 inhabited census areas in Ozegna. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 67 or more.
