NUTS-3 ITH57 · Italy
Ravenna
Ravenna generates €15bn of GDP across 387.2k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 53.2/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and market access. Its economy has grown +3.2%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 3.2pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (88th EU percentile) and weakest for clean environment (35th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run faller76 → 63 EU percentile since 1995 (-13 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.
