NUTS-3 ITC49 · Italy
Lodi
Lodi generates €7.5bn of GDP across 230.3k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 56/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by market access and livability. Its economy has grown +3.9%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 3.3pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (92.5th EU percentile) and weakest for clean environment (15th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run faller80 → 47 EU percentile since 1995 (-33 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.
