Senago, the Groane park and Villa San Carlo Borromeo

Senago lies in the belt north of Milan where housing gives way to the woods and heathland of the Parco delle Groane, a regional park that covers part of the municipality. The centre is gathered around Villa San Carlo Borromeo, the town's historic mansion, while the surrounding districts grew with the spread of the Milan area from the 1960s onwards.

There is no railway station in Senago. The open timetables (GTFS data) list 2 stops served by 2 bus lines; for trains, people use the stations of neighbouring towns on the Ferrovie Nord line towards Saronno, such as Bollate or Garbagnate Milanese. The report measures, for every address, the distance to the nearest stop, which matters if you would rather not depend on a car.

Buyers mostly find apartment blocks and detached houses from recent decades, plus a few restored farm courtyards near the centre. Istat, the national statistics office, counted 21,471 residents in 2023, up 2.7% on 2011. The estimated average age, 45.6, is close to the metropolitan area's 45.6, and foreign nationals make up 8.8%. Declared incomes are below the provincial average, which Milan pushes up.

Seismic hazard is among the lowest in Italy. Senago is in zone 4, like 73 municipalities in the Milan area, with expected ground acceleration of about 0.045 g. The age of the building, insulation and energy use weigh more heavily here, in climate zone E with cold winters.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps for Senago, so the report finds the land parcel from the address. Even on the plain, violent summer storms can overwhelm drains and flood basements, so flood hazard is checked for each individual address.

Key points

  • Parco delle Groane and Villa San Carlo Borromeo.
  • 2 stops and 2 bus lines, no railway station.
  • Population up 2.7% since 2011.

Overview

Senago is a municipality in the province of Milano, in Lombardia. At the end of 2023 it had 21,471 residents, ranked 26 of 133 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Senago is in seismic zone 4, the lowest-risk zone, where strong earthquakes are very rare. Most municipalities in the province (73 of 133) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.045 g, a low value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

In zone 4 the risk is low, but for an older building it is still worth asking about the state of the structure.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has grown by 2.7%. The estimated average age is 46 years, in line with the province. 22% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 8.8% of the population. On average, a household has 2.2 members.

Senago is in climate zone E, with 2,485 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 176 metres above sea level.

Landslides and flooding

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

Liveability area by area
