Treviso, a city of water on the Sile

The Sile river and the canals running between the houses, with old mills and sixteenth-century walls still standing, give Treviso a character all of its own, some thirty kilometres from Venezia (Venice). It is the heart of the Marca Trevigiana, a land of manufacturing businesses, and in the hills to the north of the province, between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, Prosecco is made in a landscape recognised by UNESCO in 2019.

Treviso is growing: at the end of 2023 it had 85,322 residents, 5.3% more than in 2011. Even so, it accounts for only 9.7% of the people in its province of 94 municipalities. The estimated average age in the city is 47.3, above the provincial 46, and 26.5% of residents are over 65 compared with 23.8%. Foreign nationals make up 14.1%, and households average about 2.1 people.

The earthquake section needs a careful read. Treviso is in seismic zone 2, the second-highest of four classes, like 72 of the province's 94 municipalities, and 4 municipalities in the province are even in zone 1. Expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is about 0.141 g. For a flat in a block that is a few decades old, or a house in the historic centre, ask whether and how the building has been upgraded.

Services are well represented: 88 healthcare facilities, well above the provincial rate per head, 83 schools, 21 recorded green spaces and 523 bars and restaurants. The Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) publishes cadastral maps, so the report can identify the plot from the address. In a low-lying city full of water, flood hazard can change even between neighbouring streets: the report checks it at the exact point, along with landslide hazard and local price ranges.

Key points

  • 85,322 residents, up 5.3% since 2011.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Treviso is in seismic zone 2, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible. Most municipalities in the province (72 of 94) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.141 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

For anyone buying in Treviso, the building matters a great deal: ask for the design year, whether it met the 2008 seismic standards, and whether any seismic retrofit has been carried out.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has grown by 5.3%. The estimated average age is 47 years, in line with the province. 27% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 14.1% of the population. On average, a household has 2.1 members.

Treviso is in climate zone E, with 2,378 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 15 metres above sea level.

Services

In the official Ministry of Education and Ministry of Health lists, Treviso has 83 schools and 27 pharmacies. The Overture Maps data also lists 43 grocery shops and supermarkets, 88 healthcare facilities, 85 sports facilities and 21 parks and green areas.

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 39.5% of the land in Treviso, compared with 16.6% in the province and 11.9% in the region. In 2024 built-up land grew by 1.7 hectares.

Radon and contaminated sites

Treviso 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 10 contaminated sites, or sites still under investigation, in Treviso, and 39 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 Treviso: 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 Treviso 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 879 inhabited census areas in Treviso. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 59 or more.
