NUTS-3 PL523 · Poland
Nyski
Nyski generates €4.2bn of GDP across 329.9k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 36.1/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by economic growth and market access. Its economy has grown +7.7%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 5.3pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for safety (65.3th EU percentile) and weakest for clean environment (6th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Persistent laggard3 → 6 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.
