Günzburg
Günzburg generates €6.6bn of GDP across 129.8k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 56.6/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by market access and livability. Its economy has grown +3.6%/yr over five years, with the employment rate up 1.1pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for jobs (95th EU percentile) and weakest for education (42.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Enduring leader86 → 83 EU percentile since 1995 (-3 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.
