NUTS-3 FRI23 · France
Haute-Vienne
Haute-Vienne generates €12bn of GDP across 372.8k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 47/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and livability. Its economy has grown +2.2%/yr over five years, with the employment rate up 6.6pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for clean environment (80th EU percentile) and weakest for safety (30.7th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run faller63 → 47 EU percentile since 1995 (-16 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.
