NUTS-3 PL616 · Poland
Grudziądzki
Grudziądzki generates €5.2bn of GDP across 356.1k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 36.3/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by economic growth and economic scale. Its economy has grown +8.5%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 7.1pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for safety (59.7th EU percentile) and weakest for economy (10th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Persistent laggard5 → 10 EU percentile since 1995 (+5 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.
