NUTS-3 AT126 · Austria
Wiener Umland/Nordteil
Wiener Umland/Nordteil generates €13bn of GDP across 346.6k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 58.7/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and market access. Its economy has grown +6.2%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 1.9pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for economy (73th EU percentile) and weakest for digital connectivity (27.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable49 → 55 EU percentile since 1995 (+6 ranks)
Yearly EU-wide percentile of real GDP per head (ARDECO regional accounts, constant 2020 prices, derived over population). 50 = the EU median that year; percentiles are scale-free, so decades are directly comparable. See the backtest for what long-run prosperity ranks do — and don't — anticipate.
