Szczecinecko-pyrzycki
Szczecinecko-pyrzycki generates €4.7bn of GDP across 373.6k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 36.3/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by economic growth and livability. Its economy has grown +7.0%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 5.5pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for jobs (66th EU percentile) and weakest for economy (8.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Persistent laggard5 → 6 EU percentile since 1995 (+1 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.
