The purpose of this article is to build a set of indicators to identify the critical points of congestion and to analyze the lost time by motorists in order to identify the differentiated impacts of congestion on the urban and peri-urban metropolitan area of the Bordeaux. In order to better understand the combined effects of the rise in property and land prices and urban congestion on the level of vulnerability of households and territories, this paper proposes to develop a spatial approach of urban congestion impact on household mobility and location choices. After having justified the interest of such an approach and clarified the theoretical factors controlling the local impact of congestion, the article presents the method of construction of territorial indicators of urban congestion. Then, it proposes an estimate of the territorial impacts of congestion on the different territories of Bordeaux Metropolitan area from a territorial typology integrating the various theoretical factors of exposure to congestion.
