Almere Stad vs Moers
Tree cover and air quality for both, measured the same way: Sentinel-2 imagery at 10 m detail over a 2 km radius from each city centre, and the live US EPA air quality index. Same radius and same index, so the two numbers compare directly.
Almere Stad has more tree cover — 61.5% against 57.0%.
Almere Stad has cleaner air right now — AQI 33 against 54.

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. Almere Stad leads here at 61.5%.
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: Almere Stad reads 33 (good) and Moers reads 54 (moderate) right now.
Frequently asked
Almere Stad and Moers, answered
Which has more trees, Almere Stad or Moers?
Moers, with roughly 179,071 trees inside its 2 km radius against 174,080. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Almere Stad has the denser canopy at 61.5%.
Which has better air quality, Almere Stad or Moers?
Almere Stad right now, at AQI 33 against 54 — a gap of 21 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?
Almere Stad needs about 0 more to reach its canopy target, and Moers 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.
