Details
Classes are defined according to these criteria; see the methodological note (in Italian) for more detail:
A - Standalone pole municipalities, the highest degree of centrality; they are characterised by a thorough and self-sufficient combined endowment of school, health and transport infrastructure, i.e. there are at least a lyceum and a technical high school; a railway station of medium dimensions and a hospital provided with an emergency ward.
B - Intermunicipality poles; the endowment of such infrastructures is complete if a small set of contiguous municipalities is considered
The remaining classes are defined in terms of the national distribution of the road distances from a municipality to the closest pole:
C - Belt municipalities, travel time below the median (< 27'42”) .
D - Intermediate municipalities, travel time between the median and the third quartile (27'42” - 40'54”).
E - Peripheral municipalities, travel time between the third quartile and 97.5th percentile (40'54” - 1h 6' 54”).
F - Ultra-peripheral municipalities, travel time over the 97.5th percentile (>1h 6' 54”).
