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. Mīt Ghamr leads here at 13.6%.
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: Al ‘Āshir min Ramaḑān reads 60 (moderate) and Mīt Ghamr reads 38 (good) right now.
Frequently asked
Al ‘Āshir min Ramaḑān and Mīt Ghamr, answered
Which has more trees, Al ‘Āshir min Ramaḑān or Mīt Ghamr?
Mīt Ghamr, with roughly 39,179 trees inside its 2 km radius against 8,168. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Mīt Ghamr has the denser canopy at 13.6%.
Which has better air quality, Al ‘Āshir min Ramaḑān or Mīt Ghamr?
Mīt Ghamr right now, at AQI 38 against 60 — a gap of 22 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?
Al ‘Āshir min Ramaḑān needs about 86,080 more to reach its canopy target, and Mīt Ghamr about 47,246. 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.
