NUTS-3 DE27E · Germany
Oberallgäu
Oberallgäu generates €6.6bn of GDP across 155.4k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 57.2/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by market access and livability. Its economy has grown +4.3%/yr over five years and cooling, with the employment rate up 1.1pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for clean environment (96.5th EU percentile) and weakest for education (42.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run riser54 → 68 EU percentile since 1995 (+14 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.
