Compare towns in Friuli, row by row

Two or three towns in one table, with the atlas figures in seven groups. The comparison that teaches most is between neighbours: Gemona and Bordano, which the tool opens with, are 31 min and 36 min from the hub hospital in Udine, yet on 21 December they get 7 h 43 min and 5 h 37 min of sun.

Compare a village with its neighbour, not with the city

Set a mountain village beside Udine and it loses on everything a city does and wins on price: you learn nothing. The useful comparison is between towns that share a hospital, roads and climate, where only two or three rows differ. Those are the rows that decide:

  • fibre between Venzone and Bordano;
  • flood areas between Cormons (1.1% of buildings) and Gradisca d'Isonzo (44.3%);
  • price between Tavagnacco (€1,000/m² for a house) and Udine (€1,125/m²), with the hub 7 min and 8 min away.

What the rows contain

Seven groups: prices, distances, health, sun and climate, risks and broadband, everyday life, who lives there. They are the figures of the town atlas, with the same sources and the same limits: OMI values rather than sale prices, drive times without traffic from the town hall, sunshine under clear skies, homes not lived in by residents as counted in the 2011 census. A dash means the figure is missing: sales counts, for example, exist for 94 towns.

The last menu changes the third town, or removes it. If it ends in a draw, Your Friuli weighs your priorities; to see when the sun reaches two neighbouring villages, try the sun tool.

Questions

Grado or Lignano: what is the difference for buyers?

At OMI value a flat costs €2,200/m² in Grado and €3,040/m² in Lignano; A&E is 38 min and 24 min away; buildings in flood areas, 53.2% and 8.8%.

How should I compare two villages before buying in Friuli?

Put the figures side by side, look at the rows where they part company, then go and see both, in winter if sunshine matters to you.

Where do the comparison figures come from?

From the atlas: the Revenue Agency's OMI, ISTAT, ARPA FVG, ISPRA, AGCOM, the Civil Protection Department, OpenStreetMap and our own drive-time and sun calculations. The licences appear below, with the sources.
