Conselve, the service town of the plain south of Padua

Some twenty kilometres south of Padua the plain becomes lower and more regular, laid out by the channels of old land reclamation schemes. This is the Conselvano, the area named after Conselve itself. The town stands just a few metres above sea level and serves the farming villages around it, with the market, schools and shops.

That role shows in the figures: there are 0.90 supermarkets per 1,000 residents, well above the provincial average of 0.40. Buyers can find detached houses with gardens, terraced houses and flats in small blocks, generally cheaper than in the ring of towns around Padua. For anyone working in Padua the journey is almost always by car, so try it at rush hour.

The population is edging down: 10,012 residents in 2023, 2.7% fewer than in 2011, according to Istat, the national statistics office. The estimated average age is 46.8, slightly above the province; over-65s make up 25.1% and foreign residents 10.1%. Declared incomes are below the Padua average, as in much of the southern part of the province.

Conselve is in seismic zone 3 of the Civil Protection classification, like 89 municipalities in the province, but expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is low, about 0.063 g. In houses from the building boom years, insulation, heating and wiring, and the roof usually matter more than the structure.

Water is the main issue. On reclaimed land, where drainage depends on channels and pumping stations, flood exposure and rising damp on ground floors need checking house by house. The report reads the flood maps at the address and, with the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps, traces the plot.

Key points

  • Service town for the farmland south of Padua.
  • 0.90 supermarkets per 1,000 residents (0.40 in the province).
  • Seismic zone 3, low expected acceleration of about 0.063 g.
  • Reclaimed land: check flooding and damp for each address.

Overview

Conselve is a municipality in the province of Padova, in Veneto. At the end of 2023 it had 10,012 residents, ranked 25 of 101 municipalities in the province.

Earthquakes

For Italy's Civil Protection Department, Conselve is in seismic zone 3, a zone where strong earthquakes are possible but rare. Most municipalities in the province (89 of 101) are in the same zone.

In the built-up area, the expected ground shaking (peak ground acceleration, PGA) is about 0.063 g, a moderate value: the level with a 10% probability of being exceeded in 50 years, on rock.

Even in zone 3, seismic standards apply to new buildings: for an older building, ask about the design year and any structural work.

Population

Compared with the 2011 census, the resident population has fallen by 2.7%. The estimated average age is 47 years, in line with the province. 25% of residents are over 65 (the regional figure is 24%). Foreign residents make up 10.1% of the population. On average, a household has 2.4 members.

Income and climate

In tax year 2024, taxpayers in Conselve declared an average taxable income of 23,863 euros, below the provincial average (26,932 euros). The Italian average is 24,895 euros.

Conselve is in climate zone E, with 2,466 heating degree days: heating may be switched on from 15 October to 15 April, for up to 14 hours a day. The same table puts the town hall at 7 metres above sea level.

There are 0.9 grocery shops and supermarkets per 1,000 residents, more than the province average (0.4).

Public transport

We do not yet have open public transport timetables for this municipality: the report says so explicitly, without inventing distances.

How built-up it is

Buildings, roads, car parks and other sealed surfaces cover 20.9% of the land in Conselve, compared with 18.7% in the province and 11.9% in the region. In 2024 built-up land grew by 2.1 hectares.

Radon and contaminated sites

Conselve is not among the radon priority areas designated by the Regione Veneto in 2025. Radon varies from building to building and can only be known by measuring it, especially on ground floors and in basements.

Official databases list one contaminated site, or site still under investigation, in Conselve, and 2 more have been cleaned up or closed. The report tells you whether one is close to the address.

Landslides and flooding

Landslide and flood hazard changes from one street to the next even within Conselve: the report checks the address against the ISPRA maps.

House prices

The Revenue Agency's price ranges per square metre (OMI) apply to zones, not to whole municipalities: the report gives the range for the address's zone.

Land registry

The cadastral maps for Conselve are public: from the address the report finds the sheet and parcel number.

Liveability area by area

The Vicinalia liveability index runs from 0 to 100 and looks at the place, not the people who live there: services within walking distance, transport, green space, natural hazards, air, quiet, buildings and connection. Here it is worked out at the centre of each of the 77 inhabited census areas in Conselve. Half of the residents live in areas scoring 65 or more.
