NUTS-3 ITF22 · Italy
Campobasso
Campobasso generates €5.7bn of GDP across 209.1k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 34.9/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by economic growth and market access. Its economy has grown +3.3%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 4.9pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (66th EU percentile) and weakest for digital connectivity (8th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run faller48 → 33 EU percentile since 1995 (-15 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.
