NUTS-3 PL618 · Poland
Świecki
Świecki generates €2.4bn of GDP across 171.9k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 26.2/100 sits in the lower tier of EU regions, led by economic growth and livability. Its economy has grown +3.0%/yr over five years and cooling, with the employment rate up 7.1pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for safety (55.3th EU percentile) and weakest for economy (9th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Persistent laggard8 → 11 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.
