Bareilly vs Rāmpur
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.
Rāmpur has more tree cover — 34.3% against 16.9%.
Rāmpur has cleaner air right now — AQI 44 against 51.

What each city is breathing
Concentrations in µg/m³, measured at the same moment as the index above. Lower is better in every row. Rāmpur is read from nearby ground stations and Bareilly 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. Rāmpur leads here at 34.3%.
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: Bareilly reads 51 (moderate) and Rāmpur reads 44 (good) right now.
Frequently asked
Bareilly and Rāmpur, answered
Which has more trees, Bareilly or Rāmpur?
Rāmpur, with roughly 107,326 trees inside its 2 km radius against 53,040. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Rāmpur has the denser canopy at 34.3%.
Which has better air quality, Bareilly or Rāmpur?
Rāmpur right now, at AQI 44 against 51 — a gap of 7 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?
Bareilly needs about 41,114 more to reach its canopy target, and Rāmpur 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.
