Zeccone, Pavia countryside between Pavia and Milan

Zeccone is a small municipality on the plain north of Pavia, in the band of countryside separating the city from the Milan area. Fields, irrigation ditches and farmsteads surround a village that has grown in recent decades with estates of detached and terraced houses. There is no railway in the village, so daily journeys mean driving to stations or nearby towns.

The average age is 44.9, below 47.1 for the province, and over-65s are 18.9%, against 25.2% provincially. Households have 2.41 people on average and foreign residents make up 4.2%. Istat, the national statistics office, counts 1,686 residents in 2023, almost unchanged since 2011 (down 0.6%). Declared incomes are in line with the average for the province of Pavia.

Many homes are recent, with a few older courtyard houses and farmsteads to restore. With newer homes, check the energy rating and the quality of the finish; with farmsteads, the permitted use and utility connections. On the plain the issue to check is flooding, which the report looks up on the official maps for the exact spot.

Zeccone is in seismic zone 3 under the Civil Protection classification, like 156 other municipalities in the province, while 27 are in zone 4. The expected ground acceleration is 0.061 g, a low value. The Revenue Agency cadastral maps are published and the report finds the parcel from the address.
