Valle d’Aosta/Vallée d’Aoste
Valle d’Aosta/Vallée d’Aoste generates €5.8bn of GDP across 122.5k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 47.8/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by market access and livability. Its economy has grown +3.8%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 5.5pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (78th EU percentile) and weakest for education (7.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run faller92 → 78 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.
