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

An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Marche Airport (AOI), about 17.1km away.
An established international community — 27 residents from Western countries already here.

Depends on you

Nothing notable to weigh either way here.

Working against it

The population is gradually declining — down 0.56% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
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.
