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
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within reach — Perugia San Francesco d'Assisi – Umbria International Airport (PEG), about 58km away.
Depends on you

Nothing notable to weigh either way here.

Working against it
  • The population is gradually declining — down 1.3% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
  • No hospital shows up within reach in our mapping — worth checking where the nearest one actually is before committing.
  • A seismically active area (up to M6.5) — a notable earthquake history over the last 20 years. Worth checking the construction date and quality of anything you buy.

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