Accuracy of the map[edit]

Hi, I wonder whether the map displayed on this map is accurate. See I'm French and noticed that it said Loir et Cher had over $50 000 GDP per capita, but all the official figures I can fin are under 25 000 so I think it's wrong data. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:1811:3388:E300:505F:8629:92A0:98DA (talk) 20:18, 16 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The second biggest one in France is Lyon and this seems correct but in the figure Map_of_GDP_per_capita_in_the_EU_in_2007_(NUTS_3).png, it looks like Orleans instead so I guess it's a bug. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.176.1.85 (talk) 14:48, 29 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Since the map is so outdated anyway, I was looking for a more current one and found this one for 2010: File:Gross domestic product (GDP) per inhabitant, in purchasing power standard (PPS), by NUTS 2 regions, 2010 (1) (% of the EU-27 average, EU-27 = 100).png (not much younger, but still...) --109.45.2.27 (talk) 22:39, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Milan Metropolitan[edit]

The 2008 figure for Milan Metropolitan area quoted ($115 bill.) is wrong - this figures comes from citymayors.com and is the figure for the commune i.e city proper (c.1.3 million) rather than the metropolitan area (c7.4 million in 2003/7.6-8 million in 2008) If this was the case Milan metro area would have GDP per capita of c.$15,500...to put this in perspective in 2009 (a year of recession) the average GDP per capita in Italy was around $30,000...so this needs to be changed, ideally with the correct figure! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.5.35.31 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The population density of Berlin Metro is wrong. The very own wiki-article claims it to be 825/km2 instead of 286. This list counts the area - but not the population - of the whole state of Brandenburg into that metropol area, which is quite nonsense. I corrected the pop.density part. 188.102.51.168 (talk) 01:41, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]


The figures of 2010 GDP for NUTS 3 regions of Eurostat are available. The curent article is bad, contradictory, we understand nothing there! It is nevertheless so simple to quote the data of 2010 GDP, source: Eurostat. By examples:


Surface Km² 2010 GDP (BillionEuros)
Essex 3 670 38
Hertfordshire 1 643 34
Buckinghamshire 1 874 24

London 1 572 362
Paris 12 011 589

GDP per capita[edit]

I suppose that table is about cities, and since the article title says "metropolitan areas", its reserved to "larger cities" only? That's then also the reason why Luxembourg is not in that list (of cities)? So, even if only considering "larger cities", the table still looks pretty incomplete: just for Germany (with Berlin on the list), how come Düsseldorf or Stuttgart aren't on it? I would expect Amsterdam to be somewhere above Budapest or Berlin? --109.45.0.176 (talk) 10:13, 23 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

2012 list[edit]

I don't know who did that, but it looks funny to me in a number of ways: just take Oslo, Norway, which is a) not part of the EU, b) Greater Oslo Region is tagged with original research and even if it wouldn't, it has a pop. of 1.4 million at a stunning pop. density of 160/km². As far as I know, the very purpose of the mentioned Urban Audit program is to avoid unreal comparisons like that. Any chance to get a Eurostat source for that table? --109.45.2.27 (talk) 22:23, 4 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Regions need to be of comparable size[edit]

Hi there, I noticed that in case for Stuttgart the "Region Stuttgart" was used for the list. The "Region Stuttgart", however, is rather small as it has about the size of the city of Hamburg. To make it more comparable the "European metropolitian area Stuttgart" should be used which has a similar size as most of the regions on the list. Check out: https://www.region-stuttgart.org/metropolregion/ Thanks! 91.45.138.86 (talk) 22:25, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Where do the numbers really come from?[edit]

I am just a bit curious: The cited source (Eurostat, following the source link) gives me "98.886 billon EUR" for Cologne, while the article table says "97.9 billion EUR" for the same metropolitan region and year (2018). That is a billion in difference. Some other samples: Toulouse figures as "58.205 = 59.0" and Madrid has "231.1 = 230.8" and so on. I found many numbers that turned out to be as correct as Stockholm ("147.8 = 147.848" !), but many more are severely off. Have the numbers of Eurostat changed since the numbers were included in Wikipedia, or was that some reckless editing in Wikipedia, like the numbers for Paris (someone included the Q4-2021 from a non-Eurostat data source, which is somehow over a trillion dollar, while the Eurostat number for 2018 is a modest 729.75 for 2018, which means it was included here in the form of 725.0 as it was updated from 2016 to 2018 and was afterwards changed towards 742.0 for some reason... all of that presumably for 2018.) --Enyavar (talk) 21:58, 25 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Protection[edit]

Can someone makes this page protected. Some new users are adding GDP data in us$ while this page only uses Euros Radom1967 (talk) 16:19, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

what I don't understand is how the table now has both 2019 and 2020 sources, making the numbers not comparable anymore. Care to explain why you didn't use a single unified datasource, or possibly added a second data column? --Enyavar (talk) 23:35, 24 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Same entity in multiple entries[edit]

For example the city of Venice seems to be included in both #73 and #103 in the current 2020/2021 list. Respublik (talk) 06:33, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Metropolitan Population Column[edit]

Can someone add a population column as well please? As long as it corresponds to each row's gmp and year. Wikiuser552 (talk) 21:49, 4 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Szczecin[edit]

Szczecin should have a much higher GDP than e.g. Opole. I found a rank by city budget (neither GDP nor metropolitan area) but the difference is enormous so for me, it doesn't look correct that Szczecin is missing in this article. Grillofrances (talk) 02:04, 22 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
