Andorra la Vella vs Le Mans
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.
Andorra la Vella has more tree cover — 75.7% against 35.0%.
Le Mans has cleaner air right now — AQI 21 against 40.

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. Andorra la Vella leads here at 75.7%.
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: Andorra la Vella reads 40 (good) and Le Mans reads 21 (good) right now.
Frequently asked
Andorra la Vella and Le Mans, answered
Which has more trees, Andorra la Vella or Le Mans?
Andorra la Vella, with roughly 237,819 trees inside its 2 km radius against 109,736. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Andorra la Vella has the denser canopy at 75.7%.
Which has better air quality, Andorra la Vella or Le Mans?
Le Mans right now, at AQI 21 against 40 — a gap of 19 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?
Andorra la Vella needs about 0 more to reach its canopy target, and Le Mans 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.
