Distribution across the 91 stations the survey could price.

Colour runs on rank, not on the raw figure, so the ramp is spent evenly across the network. The wash under the lines spreads that colour between neighbouring stations, so the pattern reads at a glance. Dot size is annual ridership. Hover a station for its numbers. Zoom in for the dense middle of the network: pinch, use the +/- buttons, or double-click, then drag to pan.

The income shown is the median disposable income per consumption unit (INSEE Filosofi 2021) for the IRIS the station sits in, or for the nearest residential IRIS when the station lands in a business or industrial area. An IRIS holds around 2,000 residents, which is the finest geography France publishes income at, and it describes the neighbourhood rather than the riders. The top of the ranking belongs almost entirely to the T and R tram lines, out toward Croix, Marcq-en-Barœul and Wasquehal. Villa Cavrois leads with 41,280 EUR, ahead of Acacias and Foch at 40,960 EUR around Croisé Laroche, then Château Rouge and Le Quesne at 36,600 EUR. You have to go down to 19th place for the first metro station, Rihour (29,620 EUR), followed by République - Beaux-Arts (28,680 EUR) and, on line 2, Les Prés - Edgard-Pisani (26,920 EUR) and Bois Blancs (26,800 EUR). The top 30 closes at 26,200 EUR with La Terrasse, a ratio of 1.6 between first and thirtieth place. Of the 91 stations on the network, nine had to be attached to the nearest residential IRIS within 1,500 m because they sit in an activity or facilities zone.
