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. Thị Trấn Đại Từ leads here at 70.9%.
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: Bắc Giang reads 94 (moderate) and Thị Trấn Đại Từ reads 88 (moderate) right now.
Frequently asked
Bắc Giang and Thị Trấn Đại Từ, answered
Which has more trees, Bắc Giang or Thị Trấn Đại Từ?
Thị Trấn Đại Từ, with roughly 222,739 trees inside its 2 km radius against 87,308. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Thị Trấn Đại Từ has the denser canopy at 70.9%.
Which has better air quality, Bắc Giang or Thị Trấn Đại Từ?
Thị Trấn Đại Từ right now, at AQI 88 against 94 — a gap of 6 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?
Bắc Giang needs about 5,903 more to reach its canopy target, and Thị Trấn Đại Từ 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.
