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. Paranaque City leads here at 25.1%.
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: Angeles City reads 59 (moderate) and Paranaque City reads 77 (moderate) right now.
Frequently asked
Angeles City and Paranaque City, answered
Which has more trees, Angeles City or Paranaque City?
Paranaque City, with roughly 78,854 trees inside its 2 km radius against 71,942. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Paranaque City has the denser canopy at 25.1%.
Which has better air quality, Angeles City or Paranaque City?
Angeles City right now, at AQI 59 against 77 — a gap of 18 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?
Angeles City needs about 22,305 more to reach its canopy target, and Paranaque City about 15,394. 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.
