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 2.6km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Abruzzo Airport (PSR), about 54.4km away.
  • The population is growing — up 1.06% in the latest year.
Depends on you
  • A younger community than most Italian towns — median age about 46.
Working against it
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 8 places to eat within 5km.
  • A seismically active area (up to M6.1) — a notable earthquake history over the last 20 years. Worth checking the construction date and quality of anything you buy.
