NUTS-3 AT311 · Austria
Innviertel
Innviertel generates €14bn of GDP across 299.3k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 57.7/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and livability. Its economy has grown +4.4%/yr over five years, with the employment rate up 1.3pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for economy (85th EU percentile) and weakest for digital connectivity (30th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run riser50 → 79 EU percentile since 1995 (+29 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.
