Rivalta di Torino, along the Sangone south-west of Turin
In Turin's inner commuter belt, on the Orbassano and Rivoli side, Rivalta is a largely residential town crossed by the Sangone stream. The old core, with its castle and the lanes of the original village, is ringed by districts built from the second half of the twentieth century onwards and by industrial areas; to the west, fields and farmsteads remain.
Many residents work in Turin or at firms around the city. Housing is mostly blocks of flats and detached houses of various ages, with a few restored farmhouses on the outskirts. Daily commuters have to reckon with the ring road and traffic into the city, so it is worth checking in the report how far the address is from bus stops and everyday services. For hospital care, the San Luigi hospital in Orbassano is close by.
Rivalta has grown by 4.9% since 2011 and had 20,195 residents in 2023, according to Istat, the national statistics office, while the metropolitan area as a whole has lost population. It is also younger than average: the average age is 46.1 against 47.4, and 24.4% of residents are over 65. Foreign residents make up 5.9%, and declared incomes are slightly above the provincial average.
The town has 9 healthcare sites, 0.45 per 1,000 residents against 0.71 in the province, so people often use clinics in neighbouring towns.
Piedmont is one of Italy's least seismic regions. In the province of Turin, 271 municipalities are in zone 3 and 41 in zone 4; Rivalta is in zone 3, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.079 g. The stream matters more than earthquakes: along the Sangone the report checks the official flood maps for the address, and the Revenue Agency's cadastral maps link the house to its plot.
