San Mauro Torinese, between the Po and the Turin hills
San Mauro Torinese borders Turin to the north-east and is split into two very different parts. Down below is the flat land on the right bank of the Po, with residential districts, through roads and retail areas. Above it the Turin hills begin, with villas, houses set in greenery and narrow lanes climbing through the woods. Many residents work in Turin, which is reached by following the river.
Daily life varies a lot between the two. On the flat there are post-war blocks of flats and newer low-rise buildings close to shops and services, and supermarkets are more plentiful than the provincial average (0.81 per 1,000 residents against 0.48). On the hill, houses are larger and more private, but you need a car for everything, slopes have to be assessed and running costs are higher. Near the Po, flood hazard should be checked street by street, and on the hillsides landslide hazard; the report reads both for the individual address.
At the end of 2023 there were 18,527 residents, down 2.1% since 2011 according to Istat, the national statistics office, so almost stable. The population is on the older side, with an estimated average age of 48.4 against 47.4 in the metropolitan area and over-65s at 28.4%. Foreign nationals make up 5.3%. Declared incomes are above the provincial average, which shows in the number of villas and detached houses on the hill.
Piedmont is one of the Italian regions least exposed to earthquakes. San Mauro is in zone 3 of the classification set by the Civil Protection Department, along with 270 other municipalities in the province, and the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.049 g, a low value. For a flat, the condition of the façades and roof, the energy rating and the service charges (spese condominiali) matter more. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps here, so the report finds the land parcel from the address.

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, San Mauro Torinese is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (271 of 312) are in the same zone.
In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.049 g, a low 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.

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 55 inhabited census areas in San Mauro Torinese. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 68 or more.
