NUTS-3 DE80L · Germany
Vorpommern-Rügen
Vorpommern-Rügen generates €7.4bn of GDP across 215.2k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 45.8/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by livability and economic scale. Its economy has grown +5.0%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 1.7pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for digital connectivity (92th EU percentile) and weakest for health (22th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run riser31 → 44 EU percentile since 1995 (+12 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.
