Main-Tauber-Kreis
Export region data (CSV)Main-Tauber-Kreis generates €6.6bn of GDP across 133.2k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 60.8/100 puts it in the upper quartile of EU regions, led by market access and livability. Its economy has grown +4.4%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 2.0pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for economy (88th EU percentile) and weakest for safety (62.3th).
