NUTS-3 AT315 · Austria
Traunviertel
Traunviertel generates €11bn of GDP across 245.1k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 51.4/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and livability. Its economy has grown +2.8%/yr over five years and cooling, with the employment rate up 1.3pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for economy (83th EU percentile) and weakest for digital connectivity (27th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Enduring leader70 → 77 EU percentile since 1995 (+7 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.
