Chhatarpur vs Saugor
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.
Chhatarpur has more tree cover — 44.1% against 20.2%.
Chhatarpur has cleaner air right now — AQI 91 against 111.

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. Chhatarpur leads here at 44.1%.
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: Chhatarpur reads 91 (moderate) and Saugor reads 111 (unhealthy for sensitive groups) right now.
Frequently asked
Chhatarpur and Saugor, answered
Which has more trees, Chhatarpur or Saugor?
Chhatarpur, with roughly 138,544 trees inside its 2 km radius against 59,906. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Chhatarpur has the denser canopy at 44.1%.
Which has better air quality, Chhatarpur or Saugor?
Chhatarpur right now, at AQI 91 against 111 — a gap of 20 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?
Chhatarpur needs about 0 more to reach its canopy target, and Saugor about 43,892. 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.
