Reading these numbers
What is actually being measured
Tree cover
The share of ground under canopy inside a 2 km radius of each city centre, read from Sentinel-2 satellite imagery at 10 m detail. It is a measurement of that circle, not of the whole municipality — which is exactly what makes the two comparable, since city boundaries are drawn to wildly different rules around the world. Sinnūris leads here at 33.7%.
Air quality index
The live US EPA index, computed from current pollutant concentrations — ground stations where a city has them nearby, and a model everywhere else. It moves hour to hour, so this is a snapshot rather than a verdict on either place: 6th of October City reads 57 (moderate) and Sinnūris reads 58 (moderate) right now.
Frequently asked
6th of October City and Sinnūris, answered
Which has more trees, 6th of October City or Sinnūris?
Sinnūris, with roughly 105,872 trees inside its 2 km radius against 0. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Sinnūris has the denser canopy at 33.7%.
Which has better air quality, 6th of October City or Sinnūris?
6th of October City right now, at AQI 57 against 58 — a gap of 1 points. This is a live reading rather than an annual average, so it can reverse within a day.
How many more trees does each city need?
6th of October City needs about 94,248 more to reach its canopy target, and Sinnūris about 0. The target is the same share of ground for both, so the figures are directly comparable.
Are these two measured the same way?
Yes — that is the point of the page. Identical radius, identical satellite source at 10 m detail, and the same US EPA index for air. Nothing here is adjusted for population, city limits or climate, so the numbers describe the same-sized circle of ground in each place.
