NUTS-3 PL713 · Poland
Piotrkowski
Piotrkowski generates €11bn of GDP across 538.5k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 47.5/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic scale and economic growth. Its economy has grown +8.2%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 5.0pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for jobs (69.5th EU percentile) and weakest for health (10.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Persistent laggard9 → 18 EU percentile since 1995 (+10 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.
