NUTS-3 ITI1A · Italy
Grosseto
Grosseto generates €6.6bn of GDP across 215k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 41.8/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by livability and economic scale. Its economy has grown +3.5%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 5.0pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for health (89.5th EU percentile) and weakest for education (26th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Mid-field stable44 → 41 EU percentile since 1995 (-3 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.
