Graubünden / Grigioni / Grischun
Graubünden / Grigioni / Grischun generates €17bn of GDP across 206.1k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 72.4/100 puts it in the upper quartile of EU regions, led by livability and economic scale. Its economy has grown +6.0%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 0.1pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for digital connectivity (98th EU percentile) and weakest for safety (64.3th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Enduring leader95 → 97 EU percentile since 1995 (+2 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.
