Paullo, south-east of Milan on the Paullese road

The road that bears its name, the Paullese, links Milan with Crema and runs through the whole south-east of the metropolitan area; Paullo is one of its main towns, on the border with the province of Lodi. Around it lies irrigated farmland, with old farmsteads, fields and the canals carrying water from the river Adda, including the Muzza, which passes right by the town.

Paullo has no railway station, so for anyone working in Milan the Paullese is the daily route, busy at rush hour. The town has grown in recent decades with blocks of flats and detached houses, like many towns around Milan, and shopping centres and large stores have settled along the road: there are 8 supermarkets, 0.72 per 1,000 residents against 0.32 across the metropolitan area. When buying, check how far the home is from the main road, which brings noise and heavy traffic.

In 2023 there were 11,116 residents, up 0.9% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age (45.9) is almost the same as the metropolitan area's (45.6), and foreign residents make up 11.9%. Paullo ranks number 58 by population among the 133 municipalities of the metropolitan area. Average incomes are below Milan's very high average.

In the metropolitan area of Milan, 60 municipalities are in seismic zone 3 on the Civil Protection Department's scale and 73 in zone 4. Paullo is in zone 3, but the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is low, about 0.065 g. In a 1970s or 1980s block, the condition of the shared parts, service charges and the energy rating matter more.

The land is flat and crossed by irrigation ditches and canals, so flood hazard depends on the exact location; the report checks it at the address using the official maps. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for the whole municipality.
