NUTS-3 PL824 · Poland
Tarnobrzeski
Tarnobrzeski generates €8.6bn of GDP across 550.4k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 41.6/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic growth and economic scale. Its economy has grown +7.7%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 3.1pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for digital connectivity (56th EU percentile) and weakest for economy (10.5th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Persistent laggard6 → 12 EU percentile since 1995 (+6 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.
