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 2.3km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Foggia Gino Lisa Airport (FOG), about 45.6km away.
  • The population is growing — up 1.39% in the latest year.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 8.6km to the nearest beach.
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 48.
Working against it
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 6 places to eat within 5km.
  • Some earthquake history here, the strongest around M4.8 over the last 20 years — worth asking about a building's construction and any anti-seismic work.

Daily services are searched to 15 km; hospital and beach to 100 km.
