San Giusto Canavese, farmland in the Canavese plain

Flat, agricultural, halfway between Turin and Ivrea: San Giusto Canavese covers a stretch of the Canavese plain where fields of maize and cereals alternate with farmsteads, workshops and a compact village.

The village has basic services and otherwise relies on San Giorgio Canavese, Caluso, Rivarolo and Ivrea, a few minutes' drive away, and on Turin for work. The market is made up of village houses, detached homes and farmsteads, with prices that stay below those of the Turin commuter belt.

There were 3,260 residents in 2023, down 4.0% on 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The average age of 47.7 is just above that of the Metropolitan City of Turin (47.4), and over-65s are 27.0%. Foreign residents make up 7.1%. Declared incomes are below the metropolitan average.

Although it is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, like 270 other municipalities in the Turin area, San Giusto has a low expected acceleration, about 0.044 g. In farmsteads and solid brick houses the most useful checks concern roofs, rising damp and systems.

On a plain crossed by irrigation ditches and streams, flood hazard varies a lot from one spot to another: the report checks it on the official maps for the address and finds the cadastral parcel.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.
