Evros
Export region data (CSV)Έβρος generates €2.1bn of GDP across 136.4k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 21.2/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by economic growth and livability. Its economy has grown +3.4%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 8.2pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for safety (41th EU percentile) and weakest for jobs (6.5th).

Demographic stability53
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.
