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 0.7km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Forlì-Luigi Ridolfi International Airport (FRL), about 34.6km away.
  • The population is growing — up 0.52% in the latest year.
Depends on you

Nothing notable to weigh either way here.

Working against it
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 6 places to eat within 5km.

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