Brāhmanbāria vs Chāndpur
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.
Brāhmanbāria has more tree cover — 39.5% against 27.3%.
Chāndpur has cleaner air right now — AQI 118 against 151.

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. Brāhmanbāria leads here at 39.5%.
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: Brāhmanbāria reads 151 (unhealthy) and Chāndpur reads 118 (unhealthy for sensitive groups) right now.
Frequently asked
Brāhmanbāria and Chāndpur, answered
Which has more trees, Brāhmanbāria or Chāndpur?
Brāhmanbāria, with roughly 101,136 trees inside its 2 km radius against 61,837. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Brāhmanbāria has the denser canopy at 39.5%.
Which has better air quality, Brāhmanbāria or Chāndpur?
Chāndpur right now, at AQI 118 against 151 — a gap of 33 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?
Brāhmanbāria needs about 1,280 more to reach its canopy target, and Chāndpur about 17,441. 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.
