NUTS-3 PL227 · Poland
Rybnicki
Rybnicki generates €11bn of GDP across 580.5k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 51.6/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and economic growth. Its economy has grown +8.0%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 6.6pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for safety (68.7th EU percentile) and weakest for clean environment (8th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Persistent laggard10 → 17 EU percentile since 1995 (+7 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.
