NUTS-3 FR105 · France
Hauts-de-Seine
Hauts-de-Seine generates €198bn of GDP across 1.7m residents. Its Opportunity Index of 73.6/100 puts it in the upper quartile of EU regions, led by market access and economic scale. Its economy has grown +2.8%/yr over five years, with the employment rate up 2.3pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (98th EU percentile) and weakest for jobs (22th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Enduring leader99 → 99 EU percentile since 1995 (+0 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.
