Lot-et-Garonne
Lot-et-Garonne generates €11bn of GDP across 335k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 46.5/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and livability. Its economy has grown +3.6%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 4.9pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (88.5th EU percentile) and weakest for safety (24.3th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable52 → 44 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.
