Dūmā vs Netanya
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.
Dūmā has more tree cover — 14.7% against 12.8%.
Dūmā has cleaner air right now — AQI 40 against 81.

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. Netanya is read from nearby ground stations and Dūmā 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. Dūmā leads here at 14.7%.
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: Dūmā reads 40 (good) and Netanya reads 81 (moderate) right now.
Frequently asked
Dūmā and Netanya, answered
Which has more trees, Dūmā or Netanya?
Dūmā, with roughly 46,181 trees inside its 2 km radius against 31,366. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Dūmā has the denser canopy at 14.7%.
Which has better air quality, Dūmā or Netanya?
Dūmā right now, at AQI 40 against 81 — a gap of 41 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?
Dūmā needs about 48,066 more to reach its canopy target, and Netanya about 42,148. 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.
