NUTS-3 ITH43 · Italy
Gorizia
Gorizia generates €4.7bn of GDP across 138.4k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 39.5/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by livability and economic growth. Its economy has grown +4.0%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 2.8pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (83.5th EU percentile) and weakest for safety (31.3th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run faller73 → 51 EU percentile since 1995 (-21 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.
