Nago-Torbole Population Decline Driven by Emigration, New zoning Plan Anticipated

There is a slight decrease (by 16 units) in the population of Nago-Torbole. The combined population of Naghesi and Torbolani is, in fact, 2,322, down from 2,338 in 2000. However, it is reassuring that the net change between births and deaths remains minimal, with only one more birth (19) than deaths (18). The decline is therefore mainly due to emigration: 79 people have left, compared to 62 who have arrived. This suggests, especially in Torbole, that there are still limited housing options. It is not by chance that there is eager anticipation for the new zoning plan. According to data kindly provided by the registry office, Nago has surpassed Torbole in population. There are 1,179 Naghesi and 1,143 Torbolani. This again indicates that in Nago, construction is primarily for residents, while in Torbole, it is mainly for renting out to more profitable tourists. These are particularly rich and detailed statistical data for this year. For example, it is also learned that there are a total of 1,022 family units, of which as many as 355 are made up of a single person. There are also many with only two members, totaling 274. Families of three are 162, while those with five members drop to just 30, six to 3, seven to 1, and beyond seven to 1 as well. It is also clear that there is a high percentage of elderly here: they total 314 individuals aged 70 and over. The oldest woman, a Torbole resident, is 98 years old (there are 17 nonagenarians). The oldest man is found in Nago, aged 95. The foreign population makes up 4.69% of the total. There are a total of 109 residents abroad, with the largest group being Yugoslavs (29); followed by Germans (23); Albanians (13). Another classification distinguishes by marital status: 33 are divorced (16 men and 17 women); 185 are widowed (33 men and 152 women). An interesting data point concerns employment. Here, it is found that workers in unspecified “services” (public or private) number 198. Meanwhile, 29 are employed in the “transport” sector. The largest category, unsurprisingly, is “commerce and hospitality services,” with a total of 317 employees. The number of workers in “construction and electrical or gas and water systems” reaches 45, and 38 in “manufacturing of products.” There are also 31 involved in “extraction and processing of minerals and their products,” and just 19 working in “agriculture, forestry, livestock, and fishing.” The “administrative and similar professions” total 244, while “liberal, technical, scientific, and allied” professions number 168.
