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 0.2km away.
  • Well connected by rail — a station about 0.6km away.
  • An airport with scheduled flights is within easy reach — Bologna Guglielmo Marconi Airport (BLQ), about 31.6km away.
  • The population is growing — up 1.29% in the latest year.
Depends on you

Nothing notable to weigh either way here.

Working against it
  • A quiet spot for eating out — only 4 places to eat within 5km.
  • Some earthquake history here, the strongest around M4.5 over the last 20 years — worth asking about a building's construction and any anti-seismic work.
