Preganziol, on the Terraglio between Treviso and Mestre

From one end of Preganziol to the other runs the Terraglio, the straight road linking Mestre and Treviso, and it is the easiest way to understand the place. Along it, Venetian villas and their parks alternate with shops, businesses and the housing built over recent decades. The land is flat, about ten metres above sea level, and Treviso lies just to the north.

For anyone working in Treviso or Venice the location is handy: you can drive, or use the railway that runs between the two cities and crosses the municipality. Buyers here usually look for a detached house or a terraced house with a small garden, less often a flat. Traffic is noticeable close to the Terraglio; the streets further in are quiet but depend on the car for almost everything.

The population is steady. In 2023 there were 16,773 residents, practically the same as the 16,772 counted in 2011. The estimated average age is 46.8, against 46.0 for the province, and over-65s make up 24.7%, slightly above the provincial figure of 23.8%. Foreign residents are 7.4%, and average declared incomes are higher than in the province as a whole.

On earthquakes, Preganziol is better placed than much of the province. Under the national classification it is in seismic zone 3, like 17 other municipalities around Treviso, while 72 are in zone 2 and 4 in zone 1, further north. Expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.119 g. For a house built before the 1980s it is still worth asking what work has been done on the roof and floors.

Ditches and small lowland streams cross the area, so flood hazard can change from one street to the next, and the report checks it for the address. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the land registry maps here too, so a house number leads to its plot.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Preganziol is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Only 18 of 94 municipalities in the province are in zone 3.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.119 g, a moderate 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.

Compared with the 2011 census, the number of residents is nearly unchanged. The estimated average age is 47 years, in line with the province. 25% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 7.4% of the population. On average, a household has 2.3 members.

Preganziol is in climate zone E, with 2,373 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 12 metres above sea level.

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.
