Foggia
Foggia generates €13bn of GDP across 590.3k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 41.6/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and economic growth. Its economy has grown +3.5%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 5.2pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (74.5th EU percentile) and weakest for jobs (4th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable31 → 25 EU percentile since 1995 (-6 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.
