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 — Parma Airport (PMF), about 50.9km away.

Depends on you

Nothing notable to weigh either way here.

Working against it

The population is gradually declining — down 0.57% in the latest year. Worth weighing if long-term services and resale matter to you.
A markedly older population — 36.9% are over 65 — which can strain local services and schools over time.
No hospital shows up within reach in our mapping — worth checking where the nearest one actually is before committing.
Everyday shopping means a trip — the nearest supermarket is about 5.1km.
A quiet spot for eating out — only 4 places to eat within 5km.
A seismically active area (up to M5.1) — 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.
