NUTS-3 FRI34 · France
Vienne
Vienne generates €16bn of GDP across 437.3k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 50.4/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and livability. Its economy has grown +4.2%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 3.1pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (77th EU percentile) and weakest for safety (17.7th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable53 → 56 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.
