Scores are 0–10, computed only from factors we have data for; coverage shows how complete that is. A low score means a poor fit for that group’s needs, not a bad town. Tap an audience to see what drove its score.

The honest read

Working in its favour
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 0.2km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Cuneo International Airport (CUF), about 49.9km away.
  • An established international community — 24 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 1km to the nearest beach.
  • A small village — around 1,446 residents — quiet by nature.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 0.55% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • A markedly older population — 39.1% are over 65 — which can strain local services and schools over time.
  • No hospital shows up within reach in our mapping — worth checking where the nearest one actually is before committing.
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 7 places to eat within 5km.

Counts show what’s mapped in OpenStreetMap within each ring. Where little is close, the nearest few are listed with an estimated drive time (a guide, not a measured route; typically ~1.5× the straight-line distance at rural speeds). Daily services are searched to 15 km; hospital and beach to 100 km.
