Tarn
Tarn generates €11bn of GDP across 400.7k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 48.5/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and livability. Its economy has grown +4.0%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 4.7pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for education (91.5th EU percentile) and weakest for jobs (34.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable43 → 35 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.
