NUTS-3 FRC23 · France
Haute-Saône
Haute-Saône generates €6.1bn of GDP across 231.8k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 37.8/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by market access and livability. Its economy has grown +2.8%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate down 0.2pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (73.5th EU percentile) and weakest for jobs (17.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable41 → 31 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.
