Montreal Metro's 15 highest-income stations
STM stations ranked by the median household income of the census tract they sit in.
Where the money is on the Montreal network
Every station the survey could price, coloured by the income around it, over the city's own streets.
Distribution across the 64 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 household income (Canadian dollars) of the census tract containing the station, per Statistics Canada's 2021 Census (2020 income). The STM network has only 68 stations, 64 of them with a reliable value, which is why this is a top 15 rather than a top 50. It reflects the surrounding neighborhood, not the riders.
