Miasto Wrocław
Miasto Wrocław generates €22bn of GDP across 672.4k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 59/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and economic growth. Its economy has grown +8.7%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 4.9pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for education (70th EU percentile) and weakest for clean environment (9th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Long-run riser16 → 37 EU percentile since 1995 (+21 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.
