Mercatino Conca, a valley-floor village on the river Conca

The river Conca rises in the Apennines of the Montefeltro and flows down to the Adriatic, which it reaches on the Romagna coast. Mercatino Conca lies along its course, in the Marche stretch of the valley, at around 300 metres: a valley-floor and low-hill village in the province of Pesaro and Urbino, with farmland near the river and woods higher up.

The name ("little market") recalls the valley's market. For buyers, the main difference is between houses on the valley floor, convenient and flat, and those scattered over the hills, more isolated and with land. The Romagna coast, with jobs, hospitals and services, is reached by car down the valley. The climate zone is E. Declared incomes are below the provincial average.

In 2023 there were 1,045 residents, down 5.7% on 2011. The average age, 46.9, is the same as the province's, and over-65s make up 26.4%. Foreign nationals account for 14.3% of residents.

All 50 municipalities in the province of Pesaro and Urbino are in seismic zone 2. Here the expected ground acceleration in the built-up area is 0.176 g, a medium-high value: for a house built before recent standards, ask about the design date, materials and any structural work.

The report uses the Revenue Agency (Agenzia delle Entrate) cadastral maps to trace the address to its land parcel. Near the Conca flood hazard is what counts, on the clay slopes landslide hazard: both are checked on the official maps for the exact spot.
