NUTS-3 FRB04 · France
Indre-et-Loire
Indre-et-Loire generates €24bn of GDP across 622.7k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 59.2/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and economic growth. Its economy has grown +4.6%/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 (29.7th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable62 → 58 EU percentile since 1995 (-4 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.
