Yonne
Yonne generates €10bn of GDP across 330.6k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 49.3/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and market access. Its economy has grown +3.6%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 2.5pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for clean environment (80.7th EU percentile) and weakest for jobs (26th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable52 → 42 EU percentile since 1995 (-10 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.
