Naples vs Turin
How to read the comparison chart
The grouped bars score each city 0–100 on cost, climate and safety — taller is better. Naples leads on any axis where its bar is higher, Turin where its is. The cost bar uses a higher-is-cheaper scale, so Turin's taller cost bar reflects its lower cost of living, not a higher price.
| Axis | Naples | Turin |
|---|---|---|
| Livability | 65 | 66 |
| Cost (higher=cheaper) | 45 | 45 |
| Climate | 100 | 93 |
| Safety | 55 | 64 |
| Summer °C | 23.4 | 22.9 |
| Winter °C | 7.8 | 2.7 |
| Top disaster risk | wildfire | earthquake |
Naples vs Turin: the short answer
Turin comes out ahead on overall livability (66/100), only marginally above Naples (65/100). The two cities diverge most on natural-disaster exposure. On affordability Turin is the cheaper base — nearly identical prices on our cost index (Naples 45 vs Turin 45, where a higher score means a lower cost of living, normalised from World Bank price levels). For climate, Naples runs warmer in summer (about 23.4°C peak vs 22.9°C in Turin), while winter lows sit near 7.8°C in Naples and 2.7°C in Turin. On natural-disaster exposure Turin is the safer choice (safety 64/100); the dominant modelled hazard is wildfire for Naples and earthquake for Turin.
Which city should you choose?
- On a tight budget → Turin — lower everyday costs..
- You want warmth → Naples — hotter summers.
- Safety is the priority → Turin — lower disaster risk.
- Best all-rounder → Turin — highest overall livability.
Data & methodology
Cost scores are normalised from World Bank price-level data. Climate figures (summer highs, winter lows) are drawn from 1991–2020 climate normals. Disaster-safety blends USGS earthquake history (magnitude 4.5+ within 300 km since 1980), tropical-cyclone basin position, flood/elevation exposure and Köppen climate zone. The livability score is the weighted composite of cost, climate and safety. All figures are planning indicators for 2026, not guarantees — verify specifics before relocating.
