NUTS-3 PL431 · Poland
Gorzowski
Gorzowski generates €5.7bn of GDP across 358.6k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 43.4/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic growth and market access. Its economy has grown +7.1%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 5.4pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for jobs (73th EU percentile) and weakest for economy (10.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Persistent laggard12 → 13 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.
