Pasian di Prato, on the western edge of Udine
Anyone who wants to live near Udine without being in the city usually ends up looking at Pasian di Prato. The municipality borders Udine to the west and is largely an extension of it: the built-up areas run into each other, and between the main village, Passons, Colloredo di Prato and Santa Caterina you move from streets of detached houses to lanes still open to the fields of the upper Friulian plain, at around one hundred metres above sea level.
Declared incomes are above the provincial average, and prices reflect how close the offices, secondary schools and hospital of Udine are. Most of what is for sale is detached or semi-detached houses with gardens, alongside a few recent blocks of flats. Overture Maps lists 8 schools and 3 supermarkets here; for anything else you go into the city, and the report measures how far each address is from these services.
Pasian di Prato is number 9 in the province by population, with 9,241 residents at the end of 2023, down 1.4% on 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age of 48.1 is close to the provincial figure, over-65s are 27.3% of residents and households are small, averaging 2.17 people. Foreign residents make up 8.0%.
Friuli knows earthquakes well, and the classification reflects it. Pasian di Prato is in seismic zone 2 on the Civil Protection scale, where 1 is the most hazardous, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.196 g, a medium to high value; 19 municipalities in the mountains to the north are in zone 1. For a building from the 1960s or 1970s, ask what structural work has been done and whether it is documented.
The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps, so the report can go from the address to the plot. Landslides are not a concern here; flooding after heavy storms is checked at the exact location of the house.
