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 — Pisa International Airport (PSA), about 31.4km away.
  • An established international community — 52 residents from Western countries already here.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 13.9km to the nearest beach.
  • An older, settled community — median age about 54, higher than most Italian comuni.
Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 2.98% 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.
  • A seismically active area (up to M5.1) — a notable earthquake history over the last 20 years. Worth checking the construction date and quality of anything you buy.

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.

Read automatically from the comune’s own website — soft signals of how active the local administration is, not a verdict. Some towns use a shared regional portal, so a quiet site doesn’t always mean a quiet town. See the methodology.

School counts from the MIUR Anagrafe scuole (presence by level, not a ranking). Universities and conservatories/academies from the MIUR institution lists; nearby university presence from OpenStreetMap. A student presence often means more rentals and services.
