Bharatpur vs Gorakhpur
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.
Bharatpur has more tree cover — 52.2% against 13.6%.
Bharatpur has cleaner air right now — AQI 56 against 100.

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

Fine particles, the pollutant that usually sets the index.

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. Bharatpur leads here at 52.2%.
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: Bharatpur reads 56 (moderate) and Gorakhpur reads 100 (moderate) right now.
Frequently asked
Bharatpur and Gorakhpur, answered
Which has more trees, Bharatpur or Gorakhpur?
Bharatpur, with roughly 163,991 trees inside its 2 km radius against 42,726. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Bharatpur has the denser canopy at 52.2%.
Which has better air quality, Bharatpur or Gorakhpur?
Bharatpur right now, at AQI 56 against 100 — a gap of 44 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?
Bharatpur needs about 0 more to reach its canopy target, and Gorakhpur about 51,522. 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.
