NUTS-3 PL922 · Poland
Ciechanowski
Ciechanowski generates €5.2bn of GDP across 317.9k residents. Its Opportunity Index of 40.4/100 is mid-table of EU regions, led by economic growth and market access. Its economy has grown +8.8%/yr over five years and accelerating, with the employment rate up 5.5pp. On quality of life it ranks strongest for jobs (52th EU percentile) and weakest for health (10th).
Long-run trajectory · EU percentile of real GDP per head, 1995–2024
Persistent laggard8 → 12 EU percentile since 1995 (+4 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.
