- Population

- Population rank
- 3 of 59
- Rank by Natural Earth population among the 59 cities of France in Terratlasia that have a population figure. Terratlasia does not list every city of France, so this is not a national ranking.

- Year of founding from Wikidata (P571). Only the year is known, not the day; a city whose sources give more than one year shows no row.
- Area
- 241 km²
- Total area from Wikidata (P2046). Where two statements differ by less than half a percent the smaller is shown; a larger disagreement (land area against total area, say) shows no row.
- Administrative unit
- arrondissement of Marseille · Bouches-du-Rhône · Métropole Aix-Marseille-Provence
- The administrative unit Wikidata files this city under (P131), one level below the state. The state itself is shown on its own row and is not repeated here; a city filed under more than three units shows no row at all.
- Time zone
