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 Aldo Moro 1, Ozzero.

Ozzero, the Bereguardo canal and the Ticino park

Ozzero lies in the countryside south of Abbiategrasso, in the part of the metropolitan city of Milan that borders the Pavia area, inside the park that protects the Ticino valley. The Naviglio di Bereguardo, one of the historic Milanese canals, runs through the village, surrounded by rice paddies, fields, farmsteads and woods towards the river. Abbiategrasso is the reference town for services and trains, and Milan is reached by car or by train from there.

If you work in Milan, think carefully about the commute. In the open public transport timetables the municipality has no railway stops (0), so you drive to a nearby station or straight into the city. In return you live in a small village, with the park on the doorstep.

There were 1,418 residents in 2023, down 3.3% on the 1,467 of 2011. The average age is 46.2, almost the same as the provincial 45.6, and over-65s make up 23.2%. Foreign residents account for 5.0%. Declared incomes are below the average for the metropolitan city.

Seismic hazard is low. Ozzero is in zone 4 on the Civil Protection scale, like 73 municipalities around Milan, while the other 60 are in zone 3, and expected ground acceleration is 0.043 g. In a country house or converted farmstead, damp, the roof and running costs matter most.

Among rice fields, ditches and the canal, flood hazard depends on the address: the report checks it on the official maps and finds the land parcel on the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps.

Overview

Ozzero is a municipality in the province of Milano, in Lombardia. At the end of 2023 it had 1,418 residents, among the smallest in the province (130 of 133).

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Ozzero is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Most municipalities in the province (73 of 133) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.043 g, a low value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.
