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 Roma 1, Salgareda.

Salgareda, fields and embankments on the lower Piave

Salgareda spreads along the left bank of the Piave, on the river's lower course, downstream of Ponte di Piave and not far from Oderzo. The land is almost entirely agricultural, with vineyards, fields and scattered houses, and the village centre is only a few metres above sea level. For secondary schools, offices and bigger shops people go to Oderzo, while Treviso and the coast are within driving distance.

The river embankment is part of the scenery and part of any buyer's thinking. The Piave has a long history of floods and is held back by levees, so flood hazard varies a great deal between houses close to the river and those further inland; the report reads it for the individual address. In older country houses, also check for damp, foundations on soft river soils and the state of the roof.

In 2023 there were 6,525 residents, down 1.1% since 2011, so broadly stable according to Istat, the national statistics office. The town is younger than the province of Treviso, with an average age of 44.6 against 46.0 and over-65s at 21.0%. The share of foreign residents is high, at 12.6%, and households have 2.52 members on average. Average incomes are below the provincial figure.

Around Treviso, seismic hazard increases towards the Pre-Alps: 4 municipalities are in zone 1 and 72 in zone 2 on the Civil Protection Department's scale, where 1 is the highest. Salgareda, on the plain towards the sea, is one of 18 in zone 3, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.115 g. For a masonry building a few decades old, it is still worth asking about the condition of the structure.

The Revenue Agency publishes the municipality's cadastral maps, and the report traces each address to its land parcel.

Key points

Overview

Salgareda is a municipality in the province of Treviso, in Veneto. At the end of 2023 it had 6,525 residents, ranked 50 of 94 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Salgareda 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 0.115 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.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 1.1%. The estimated average age is 45 years, in line with the province. 21% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 12.6% of the population. On average, a household has 2.5 members.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Salgareda: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

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.

Land registry

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 48 inhabited census areas in Salgareda. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 60 or more.
