Amanfrom vs Medina Estates
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.
Medina Estates has more tree cover — 15.0% against 11.1%.
Amanfrom has cleaner air right now — AQI 53 against 64.

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. Medina Estates leads here at 15.0%.
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: Amanfrom reads 53 (moderate) and Medina Estates reads 64 (moderate) right now.
Frequently asked
Amanfrom and Medina Estates, answered
Which has more trees, Amanfrom or Medina Estates?
Medina Estates, with roughly 47,124 trees inside its 2 km radius against 34,872. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Medina Estates has the denser canopy at 15.0%.
Which has better air quality, Amanfrom or Medina Estates?
Amanfrom right now, at AQI 53 against 64 — a gap of 11 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?
Amanfrom needs about 59,376 more to reach its canopy target, and Medina Estates about 47,124. 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.
