Data as of 2026-08-09· ISTAT

Trento, in the province of Trento, is home to 147 Brazilians — 0.12% of its 118,640 residents. That is the 1194th-highest concentration of Brazilians of any of the 5,872 Italian comuni with at least 1,000 residents, and 28th within Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol.

Across the nationalities we track, Trento counts 942 foreign residents in total, 0.79% of the population. The largest groups are Brazilians (147), Germans (127), Spaniards (119).

Over the period 2019–2025, the number of Brazilians in Trento has risen, from 141 to 147 (+4%).

Separately, ISTAT's census data shows 16.7% of Trento's population was born outside Italy — 14.2% outside the EU and 2.6% elsewhere in the EU. ISTAT does not publish this broken down by specific country at comune level, so it isn't directly comparable to the per-nationality citizenship figures above.

Property prices

To buy

2,398 /

To rent

7.57 /m²/month

Buying in Trento is above the Trento average of €1,964/m². Averaged across 32 OMI micro-zones, which can differ substantially within the same town.

Buy or rent

26.4 years of rent here equal the purchase priceabove the national median of 22.2 years.

A ratio between two OMI prices, not a return on investment. It leaves out purchase taxes, IMU, maintenance, financing and the months a place sits empty — all of which push the real figure up. Useful for the question it does answer: whether this town looks expensive to buy relative to what renting in it costs.

Condition

Housing here in excellent condition costs 39% more than ordinary condition — €3,327/m² against €2,398.

That gap is what the market charges for a place you don’t have to work on. It is not what the work would cost you — OMI prices property, not builders.

House or apartment

A detached house here averages 2,369/m², against €2,398 for an apartment.

Compared street for street — houses and flats priced in the same neighbourhood — a house costs 6% more per square metre — the opposite of what the two averages above suggest, because OMI prices houses and flats in different parts of town.

OMI prices “Ville e Villini” separately from the apartments every other figure on this page describes. Nationally a house costs about 14% more per square metre, but in 450 comuni it costs less — worth checking rather than assuming.
