NUTS-3 FRK28 · France
Haute-Savoie
Haute-Savoie generates €34bn of GDP across 876.2k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 67.2/100 puts it in the upper quartile of EU regions, led by economic scale and market access. Its economy has grown +3.9%/yr over five years, with the employment rate up 3.3pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (95th EU percentile) and weakest for safety (22th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run faller77 → 62 EU percentile since 1995 (-15 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.
