By mast count, Carvin is 11th of the 61 Pas-de-Calais towns that have five or more. With 11 masts for 17,909 residents, or 6 per 10,000, it has fewer masts per inhabitant than the median for those towns (9).

17,909 residents over 21 km²: supports are mostly pylons, not rooftops. It is part of the CA d'Hénin-Carvin intercommunal grouping.

Most of the town's 11 masts are pylons (10).
