Cremona
Cremona generates €14bn of GDP across 353.9k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 58.5/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by market access and economic scale. Its economy has grown +3.5%/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 (9th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run faller89 → 66 EU percentile since 1995 (-23 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.
