NUTS-3 FRF11 · France
Bas-Rhin
Bas-Rhin generates €49bn of GDP across 1.2m residents. Its Opportunity Index of 71.3/100 puts it in the upper quartile of EU regions, led by economic scale and market access. Its economy has grown +3.5%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 6.4pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (81th EU percentile) and weakest for jobs (43th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable76 → 68 EU percentile since 1995 (-8 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.
