NUTS-3 DE408 · Germany
Havelland
Havelland generates €4.3bn of GDP across 170.8k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 48.5/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by market access and livability. Its economy has grown +4.3%/yr over five years, with the employment rate up 1.0pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for digital connectivity (76th EU percentile) and weakest for health (33.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Persistent laggard28 → 27 EU percentile since 1995 (-1 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.
