Corse-du-Sud
Export region data (CSV)Corse-du-Sud generates €7.0bn of GDP across 172.9k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 36.7/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by economic growth and economic scale. Its economy has grown +5.4%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate down 0.7pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (93th EU percentile) and weakest for safety (12.7th).
