NUTS-3 FRB02 · France
Eure-et-Loir
Eure-et-Loir generates €14bn of GDP across 433.1k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 62.4/100 puts it in the upper quartile of EU regions, led by market access and economic scale. Its economy has grown +3.1%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 6.4pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (74.5th EU percentile) and weakest for safety (31th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run faller57 → 41 EU percentile since 1995 (-16 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.
