NUTS-3 NL323 · Netherlands
IJmond
IJmond generates €8.7bn of GDP across 202.5k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 64.7/100 puts it in the upper quartile of EU regions, led by market access and livability. Its economy has grown +4.8%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 3.8pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for education (96th EU percentile) and weakest for clean environment (25.7th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run faller87 → 70 EU percentile since 1995 (-17 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.
