What each city is breathing
Concentrations in µg/m³, measured at the same moment as the index above. Lower is better in every row. Accra is read from nearby ground stations and Abengourou is modelled — worth knowing, since the two are not quite like for like.

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. Abengourou leads here at 31.5%.
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: Abengourou reads 18 (good) and Accra reads 64 (moderate) right now.
Frequently asked
Abengourou and Accra, answered
Which has more trees, Abengourou or Accra?
Abengourou, with roughly 98,960 trees inside its 2 km radius against 22,535. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Abengourou has the denser canopy at 31.5%.
Which has better air quality, Abengourou or Accra?
Abengourou right now, at AQI 18 against 64 — a gap of 46 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?
Abengourou needs about 0 more to reach its canopy target, and Accra about 63,042. 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.
