Cuneo
Cuneo generates €23bn of GDP across 581.5k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 58.4/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and economic growth. Its economy has grown +4.4%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 5.0pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (81.5th EU percentile) and weakest for jobs (27th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run faller81 → 68 EU percentile since 1995 (-14 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.
