Scorzè, flat country along the Castellana road

Scorzè is a municipality on the plain inland from Venice, crossed by the Castellana road that runs from Mestre towards Castelfranco Veneto. It is split between the main village and hamlets such as Peseggia, Gardigiano, Rio San Martino and Cappella, each with its own church and square, and between the houses you find fields, industrial sheds and drainage ditches. The town is home to the San Benedetto mineral water plant, the best-known business in the area.

People who live here often work in Mestre, Treviso or Padua and nearly always drive; allow for rush-hour traffic on the Castellana. The housing stock is mainly detached and terraced houses and small blocks of flats with gardens, plus old farmhouses restored in the countryside.

At the end of 2023 there were 19,068 residents, almost the same as in 2011 (+0.9%, according to Istat, the national statistics office). Scorzè is a little younger than the province of Venice: an estimated average age of 46.3 against 47.6, over-65s at 24.1% against 26.0%. Foreign nationals make up 8.6% and declared incomes are just above the provincial average.

Earthquake hazard is moderate and the same everywhere: all 44 municipalities in the province are in zone 3 of the Civil Protection Department's classification, and the expected ground acceleration here is about 0.115 g. For houses built on the soft soils of the plain, foundations, damp and insulation matter most, not least because winters in climate zone E are cold and humid.

Water deserves the real attention. The area is crossed by spring-fed streams and a dense network of reclamation canals, and after heavy rain some low-lying spots flood. The report checks the official flood maps for the address, after finding the land parcel on the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps.

Key points

  • Main village and hamlets on the Castellana, between Mestre and Castelfranco.
  • Population steady since 2011 (+0.9%), average age 46.3.
  • Seismic zone 3, like the whole province.
  • Ditches and drainage canals: check flood hazard.

Overview

Scorzè is a municipality in the province of Venezia, in Veneto. At the end of 2023 it had 19,068 residents, ranked 10 of 44 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Scorzè is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. All 44 municipalities in the province are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.115 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 number of residents is nearly unchanged. The estimated average age is 46 years, in line with the province. 24% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 8.6% of the population. On average, a household has 2.4 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Scorzè declared an average taxable income of 26,065 euros, in line with the province (25,574 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Scorzè is in climate zone E, with 2,527 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 16 metres above sea level.

Services

In the official Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health lists, Scorzè has 11 schools and 5 pharmacies. The Overture Maps data also lists 7 grocery shops and supermarkets, 8 healthcare facilities and 12 sports facilities.

There are 0.4 grocery shops and supermarkets per 1,000 residents, fewer than the province average (0.5).

Public transport

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

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 28.5% of the land in Scorzè, compared with 14.1% in the province and 11.9% in the region. In 2024 built-up land shrank by 5.6 hectares.

Radon and contaminated sites

Scorzè is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Veneto in 2025. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list 3 contaminated sites, or sites still under investigation, in Scorzè, and 3 more have been cleaned up or closed. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Scorzè: 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

The cadastral maps for Scorzè are public: from the address the report finds the sheet and parcel number.

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 136 inhabited census areas in Scorzè. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 63 or more.
