NUTS-3 NO020 · Norway
Innlandet
Innlandet generates €18bn of GDP across 377.6k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 42.4/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and livability. Its economy has grown +1.8%/yr over five years, with the employment rate down 0.3pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for digital connectivity (95.5th EU percentile) and weakest for jobs (44.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Enduring leader89 → 91 EU percentile since 1995 (+2 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.
