Anda vs Honggang

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.

Anda has more tree cover — 80.9% against 41.3%.

Honggang has cleaner air right now — AQI 19 against 30.

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. Anda leads here at 80.9%.

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: Anda reads 30 (good) and Honggang reads 19 (good) right now.

Frequently asked

Anda and Honggang, answered

Which has more trees, Anda or Honggang?

Anda, with roughly 230,518 trees inside its 2 km radius against 128,321. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Anda has the denser canopy at 80.9%.

Which has better air quality, Anda or Honggang?

Honggang right now, at AQI 19 against 30 — 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?

Anda needs about 0 more to reach its canopy target, and Honggang 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.
