NUTS-3 DE91A · Germany
Peine
Peine generates €3.6bn of GDP across 137k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 47.3/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by market access and livability. Its economy has grown +3.8%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 3.8pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for education (74th EU percentile) and weakest for health (32.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable39 → 31 EU percentile since 1995 (-8 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.
