Sort of but also not at the same time, for example there is a distinct difference between Central/Western and Eastern Europe. In Central/Western Europe each country has several regions with above average GDP whereas in Eastern Europe pretty much only the capitals, if that, are above average. Which just goes to show that the scars of the iron curtain have not healed yet and more needs to be done to even out the field.
This becomes rather apparent if you look at Germany and realize that the border of below and above average pretty much exactly follows the former east-west-border

it is also a map of countries/regions that either went through WW2 relatively unscathed and or profited strongly from the marshall plan.
