Plön
Export region data (CSV)Plön generates €3.4bn of GDP across 130.6k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 44.9/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by livability and market access. Its economy has grown +5.5%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 1.0pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for digital connectivity (93th EU percentile) and weakest for health (42.5th).

Inverse of GDP-growth & unemployment volatility (since 2008, incl. 2009/2020 shocks), economic diversification (inverse HHI) and population stability — each EU-percentile-ranked. Higher withstands downturns better. Experimental.
