Statistical information related to Climate Change and Sustainability ask for an integrated approach related to economic, social, environmental and institutional goals, from global to local and from local to global to leave no one behind. The statistical measures are useful to build a common language crucial for monitoring. The Register of places is a complex system with several components. The challenge is the production of spatial information able to respond to the heightened need of detail statistical data. The construction process is complex and faces several issues first of all the very high number of objects involved and the integration of components stemming from different sources independent from each other. The final integrated product allows the possibility of geo-referencing information for flexible outputs. This information has the potential to increase statistical measures and analyses related to Climate Change and sustainability.

The increase in life expectancy and the reduction in the fertility rate are causing not only the aging of the population in developed countries but are also changing the demand for housing. The foreign population, thanks to its younger age and a large proportion of minors, helps to alleviate and slow down the effects of demographic aging. Being residents and real estate owners in Italy can indicate family stability and integration, therefore a greater probability of procreating and a propensity to buy a house. The paper provides an initial analysis of the housing situation of the foreign population in Italy, based on data from the 2021 permanent census of population and housing and the Registry of Buildings and Dwellings by the National Institute of Statistics (Istat). Through this new type of data, not available in previous censuses, one examines the key characteristics of the foreign population who own residential properties and focuses on their geographical and territorial distribution.
