Trapani
Trapani generates €8.3bn of GDP across 411.4k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 36.2/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by economic scale and economic growth. Its economy has grown +3.3%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 7.0pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for clean environment (80th EU percentile) and weakest for jobs (2.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run faller37 → 22 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.
