Characteristics of the 1991 Census
Population
Unsurprisingly, the center of Venice - particularly near the Piazza San Marco, a popular tourist destination which is very vulnerable to floods - is sparsely populated, having been taken up by commercial locations of varying sorts. Of note is an area of moderate population density in northern Cannaregio, which may be attractive due to its proximity to the [Ospedale SS. Giovanni e Paolo], a large hospital. Additionally, the spatious northwestern corner of Venice is well-populated, possibly because it is out of the way of many typical tourist attractions.
