NUTS-3 PL921 · Poland
Radomski
Radomski generates €9.0bn of GDP across 558.6k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 47.2/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic growth and economic scale. Its economy has grown +9.9%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 5.5pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for digital connectivity (56th EU percentile) and weakest for health (10th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Persistent laggard5 → 11 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.
