NUTS-3 DK014 · Denmark
Bornholm
Bornholm generates €1.7bn of GDP across 39.1k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 29.8/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by livability and market access. Its economy has grown +2.4%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 2.3pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for education (95th EU percentile) and weakest for jobs (51th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run faller79 → 66 EU percentile since 1995 (-13 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.
