NUTS-3 DE21L · Germany
Starnberg
Starnberg generates €7.5bn of GDP across 139.3k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 62.2/100 puts it in the upper quartile of EU regions, led by livability and market access. Its economy has grown +3.9%/yr over five years and cooling, with the employment rate up 2.2pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for clean environment (92.7th EU percentile) and weakest for digital connectivity (55th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Enduring leader91 → 87 EU percentile since 1995 (-4 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.
