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. Ādilābād leads here at 44.0%.
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: Ādilābād reads 76 (moderate) and Karīmnagar reads 100 (moderate) right now.
Frequently asked
Ādilābād and Karīmnagar, answered
Which has more trees, Ādilābād or Karīmnagar?
Ādilābād, with roughly 137,954 trees inside its 2 km radius against 49,951. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Ādilābād has the denser canopy at 44.0%.
Which has better air quality, Ādilābād or Karīmnagar?
Ādilābād right now, at AQI 76 against 100 — a gap of 24 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?
Ādilābād needs about 0 more to reach its canopy target, and Karīmnagar about 44,296. 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.
