Ticengo, a village on the Cremona plain towards Soncino

Farmland, irrigation ditches and farmhouses form the backdrop to Ticengo, a small lowland municipality in the north of the province of Cremona, about 75 metres above sea level, in the area between Crema and Soncino. For everyday services people use the nearby towns, and for the hospital and secondary schools they go to Crema; Cremona, the provincial capital, is reached by car.

The village is young by the standards of its province: estimated average age 44.6 against 46.8, over-65s at 21.4% against 25.3%. Households average 2.52 people and foreign residents make up 7.2%. In 2023 there were 443 residents, 1.1% fewer than in 2011, so the population is almost stable. Declared incomes sit a little below the provincial average.

Homes are village houses, small detached houses and converted parts of farmhouses. On irrigated plains the thing to check is water: flood hazard and a high water table can affect cellars and garages, and the report checks the official maps for the address. This is climate zone E, with cold, foggy winters.

Like all 113 municipalities in the province of Cremona, Ticengo is in seismic zone 3 on the scale kept by the Civil Protection Department; expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.107 g. For a brick house a few decades old, ask whether the structure has been assessed.

The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes the cadastral maps, and the report traces the address back to its land parcel.

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.
