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 Dante 7, Milan.

Rimini is the most populous municipality in the province that bears its name, in Emilia-Romagna: at the end of 2023 it had 150,046 residents, close to 45% of the entire province's population, up 7.5% since the 2011 census. The estimated average age is just over 46, and residents over 65 make up roughly a quarter of the population, in line with the regional average; foreign residents are around 13% and the average household has just over two people.

The province of Rimini was created in 1992, splitting off from the province of Forlì: before then, Rimini belonged to the same province as Forlì and Cesena. The municipal area faces the Adriatic Sea along a long stretch of beach, backed by the coastal plain; the historic centre still holds remains from Roman times, such as the Arch of Augustus and the Tiberius Bridge. The local economy relies heavily on seaside tourism, trade fairs and events: Rimini's exhibition centre is among the largest in Italy.

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, the whole province, Rimini included, sits in seismic zone 2; the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is in the medium-high range, about 0.184 g. The Revenue Agency publishes cadastral maps for the municipality, so the report can find a building's sheet and parcel number from the address. Landslide and flood risk, and local prices, which here are shaped by the proximity to the sea, both need to be checked at the exact address: they vary a great deal from street to street, even close to the coast.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Rimini is in seismic zone 2, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible. All 27 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.184 g, a medium-high value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

For anyone buying in Rimini, 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 Rimini.

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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has grown by 7.5%. The estimated average age is 47 years, in line with the province. 25% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 25%). Foreign residents make up 13.2% of the population. On average, a household has 2.2 members.

Services

In the official Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health lists, Rimini has 110 schools and 48 pharmacies. The Overture Maps data also lists 79 grocery shops and supermarkets, 88 healthcare facilities, 199 sports facilities and 39 parks and green areas.

This data is gathered from several providers: services may be missing or closed businesses may still appear. The report counts services within 500 metres and 1 kilometre of the address.

Public transport

We do not yet have open public transport timetables for this municipality: the report says so explicitly, without inventing distances.

Land registry

The Revenue Agency publishes the cadastral maps for Rimini: the report finds the building's parcel, that is its sheet and parcel number, starting from the address.
