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
  • Hospital care is close by — about 3.4km away.
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 0.2km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Parma Airport (PMF), about 24.4km away.
  • The population is growing — up 0.71% in the latest year.
Depends on you
  • The coast is close — about 8.4km to the nearest beach.
Working against it
  • A seismically active area (up to M4.9) — a notable earthquake history over the last 20 years. Worth checking the construction date and quality of anything you buy.

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.

Schools & education

Schools in the comune2 nurseries · 1 primary · 1 middle school

UniversityNearest: Università di Parma - Campus · 17.6 km

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.
