Poggiodomo: what to know before buying a home

Overview

Poggiodomo is a municipality in the province of Perugia, in Umbria. At the end of 2023 it had 91 residents, among the smallest in the province (59 of 59).

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Poggiodomo is in seismic zone 1, the highest-risk zone, where very strong earthquakes are possible. Only 14 of 59 municipalities in the province are in zone 1.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.252 g, a high value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

For anyone buying in Poggiodomo, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood risk changes from one street to the next, even within the same municipality: for this reason we do not summarise it as a single figure for the whole of Poggiodomo.

The report checks the exact address against the ISPRA national maps and tells you in plain words whether the building falls within an at-risk area. The official map is also available on IdroGEO.

House prices

We do not publish price tables by municipality. The report gives the minimum and maximum price per square metre for the address's zone, from the Revenue Agency's OMI valuations, with the reference half-year. It is a range for the zone, not the value of a specific home.
