Εύβοια
Evvoia
Εύβοια generates €3.6bn of GDP across 211.9k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 32.9/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by economic growth and market access. Its economy has grown +4.4%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 13.2pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (51th EU percentile) and weakest for economy (12.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Persistent laggard25 → 17 EU percentile since 1995 (-9 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.
