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. Dąbrowa Górnicza leads here at 66.1%.
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: Dąbrowa Górnicza reads 44 (good) and Wrocław reads 48 (good) right now.
Frequently asked

Which has better air quality, Dąbrowa Górnicza or Wrocław?
Dąbrowa Górnicza right now, at AQI 44 against 48 — a gap of 4 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?
Dąbrowa Górnicza needs about 0 more to reach its canopy target, and Wrocław 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.
