Isère
Export region data (CSV)Isère generates €54bn of GDP across 1.3m residents. Its Opportunity Index of 64.7/100 puts it in the upper quartile of EU regions, led by economic scale and livability. Its economy has grown +3.9%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 3.3pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (95th EU percentile) and weakest for safety (26.7th).
