NUTS-3 FRH01 · France
Côtes-d’Armor
Côtes-d’Armor generates €19bn of GDP across 615.5k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 56.1/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and livability. Its economy has grown +3.7%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 6.2pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for clean environment (91.7th EU percentile) and weakest for economy (40th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable46 → 42 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.
