NUTS-3 ITH20 · Italy
Trento
Trento generates €25bn of GDP across 546.6k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 65/100 puts it in the upper quartile of EU regions, led by economic scale and market access. Its economy has grown +4.5%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 5.1pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (98.5th EU percentile) and weakest for clean environment (17th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Enduring leader90 → 78 EU percentile since 1995 (-12 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.
