NUTS-3 FRB03 · France
Indre
Indre generates €6.3bn of GDP across 213.9k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 39/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by livability and economic growth. Its economy has grown +2.4%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 6.4pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for clean environment (85th EU percentile) and weakest for safety (15.3th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable47 → 35 EU percentile since 1995 (-11 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.
