NUTS-3 ES113 · Spain
Ourense
Ourense generates €8.9bn of GDP across 305.3k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 48.9/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic growth and economic scale. Its economy has grown +5.6%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 5.7pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (94th EU percentile) and weakest for jobs (15th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable26 → 36 EU percentile since 1995 (+10 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.
