NUTS-3 FRI21 · France
Corrèze
Corrèze generates €7.9bn of GDP across 241.3k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 44/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic growth and livability. Its economy has grown +3.9%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 6.6pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for clean environment (78th EU percentile) and weakest for jobs (32th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable50 → 45 EU percentile since 1995 (-5 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.
