NUTS-3 FRF24 · France
Haute-Marne
Haute-Marne generates €5.3bn of GDP across 165.9k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 38.7/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by economic growth and livability. Its economy has grown +3.2%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 8.9pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for clean environment (80th EU percentile) and weakest for safety (12th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run faller62 → 42 EU percentile since 1995 (-20 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.
