Banja Luka vs Győr
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.
Győr has more tree cover — 32.8% against 29.8%.

What each city is breathing
Concentrations in µg/m³, measured at the same moment as the index above. Lower is better in every row. Győr is read from nearby ground stations and Banja Luka is modelled — worth knowing, since the two are not quite like for like.

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. Győr leads here at 32.8%.
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: Banja Luka reads 77 (moderate) and Győr reads 77 (moderate) right now.
Frequently asked
Banja Luka and Győr, answered
Which has more trees, Banja Luka or Győr?
Győr, with roughly 101,911 trees inside its 2 km radius against 93,432. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Győr has the denser canopy at 32.8%.
Which has better air quality, Banja Luka or Győr?
Both are reading 77 on the US EPA index at the moment. Air quality changes through the day, so this can separate within hours.
How many more trees does each city need?
Banja Luka needs about 627 more to reach its canopy target, and Győr 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.
