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 0.6km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Florence Airport, Peretola (FLR), about 25.2km away.
  • An established international community — 32 residents from Western countries already here.
  • The population is growing — up 1.13% in the latest year.
Depends on you

Nothing notable to weigh either way here.

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.

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.
