Crotone
Crotone generates €3.3bn of GDP across 161.9k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 24.4/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by economic growth and livability. Its economy has grown +2.0%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 5.9pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (66.5th EU percentile) and weakest for jobs (3.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Persistent laggard27 → 23 EU percentile since 1995 (-4 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.
