NUTS-3 AT331 · Austria
Außerfern
Export region data (CSV)Außerfern generates €1.9bn of GDP across 33.9k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 50.7/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by livability and market access. Its economy has grown +5.0%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 4.0pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for economy (91.5th EU percentile) and weakest for digital connectivity (49.5th).
