Lyon's 50 richest TCL stations
The 50 stations whose surrounding IRIS shows the highest median household income in 2021.
Where the money is on the Lyon network
Every station the survey could price, coloured by the income around it, over the city's own streets.
Distribution across the 147 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.
