The edge states in the integer quantum Hall effect are known to be significantly affected by electrostatic interactions leading to the formation of compressible and incompressible strips at the boundaries of Hall bars. We show here, in a combined experimental and theoretical analysis, that this does not hold for the quantum Hall effect in narrow graphene ribbons. In our graphene Hall bar, which is only 60 nm wide, we observe the quantum Hall effect up to Landau level index k = 2 and show within a zero-free-parameter model that the spatial extent of the compressible and incompressible strips is of a similar magnitude as the magnetic length. We conclude that in narrow graphene ribbons the single-particle picture is a more appropriate description of the quantum Hall effect and that electrostatic effects are of minor importance.
