Distribution across the 107 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 within 1,500 m for stops in business areas. 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 is suburban rather than central. Cougourlude and Lattes Centre, on T3, lead at 29,580 EUR, ahead of Saint-Jean-de-Védas Centre and Saint-Jean-le-Sec (27,720 EUR), Aiguelongue and Saint-Lazare (27,550 EUR), Jacou (27,400 EUR) and Clapiers (26,820 EUR). The city centre only shows up after that: Plan Cabanes (25,670 EUR), Les Arceaux (25,180 EUR), then Comédie and Du Guesclin at 24,740 EUR. The top 35 closes at 24,020 EUR, a ratio of just 1.2 between first and thirty-fifth place, so the upper half of the network is tightly packed. Eighteen stops were attached to the nearest residential IRIS, including Saint-Jean-le-Sec, 1,367 m from the one used. Three of the network's 110 stops are missing for lack of data: EcoPôle, La Condamine and Victoire 2, for which no residential IRIS with a published value sits within 1,500 m. The ranking therefore covers 107 stops.
