NUTS-3 FRG03 · France
Mayenne
Mayenne generates €12bn of GDP across 304.2k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 51/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and livability. Its economy has grown +4.4%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 3.7pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (89th EU percentile) and weakest for jobs (34.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable63 → 60 EU percentile since 1995 (-3 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.
