NUTS-3 HU211 · Hungary
Fejér
Fejér generates €7.9bn of GDP across 418.6k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 45.8/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic growth and economic scale. Its economy has grown +4.7%/yr over five years and cooling, with the employment rate up 6.1pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for jobs (82.5th EU percentile) and weakest for health (7.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Persistent laggard17 → 17 EU percentile since 1995 (0 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.
