NUTS-3 FRH03 · France
Ille-et-Vilaine
Ille-et-Vilaine generates €48bn of GDP across 1.1m residents. Its Opportunity Index of 63.2/100 puts it in the upper quartile of EU regions, led by economic scale and economic growth. Its economy has grown +4.1%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 6.2pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (76th EU percentile) and weakest for digital connectivity (30.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable68 → 69 EU percentile since 1995 (+1 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.
