NUTS-3 AT333 · Austria
Osttirol
Osttirol generates €2.1bn of GDP across 49k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 41.9/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by livability and market access. Its economy has grown +4.5%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 4.0pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (82th EU percentile) and weakest for clean environment (27th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run riser50 → 71 EU percentile since 1995 (+22 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.
