NUTS-3 ES618 · Spain
Sevilla
Sevilla generates €49bn of GDP across 2m residents. Its Opportunity Index of 58.2/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and economic growth. Its economy has grown +4.3%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 8.6pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (68.5th EU percentile) and weakest for jobs (3th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Persistent laggard28 → 28 EU percentile since 1995 (+1 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.
