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. Wolfsburg is read from nearby ground stations and Gorzów Wielkopolski is modelled — worth knowing, since the two are not quite like for like.

A single reading can catch a city on a bad afternoon. The week says whether it was the weather or the place.
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. Gorzów Wielkopolski leads here at 63.4%.
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: Gorzów Wielkopolski reads 52 (moderate) and Wolfsburg reads 51 (moderate) right now.
Frequently asked
Gorzów Wielkopolski and Wolfsburg, answered
Which has more trees, Gorzów Wielkopolski or Wolfsburg?
Gorzów Wielkopolski, with roughly 194,994 trees inside its 2 km radius against 142,653. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Gorzów Wielkopolski has the denser canopy at 63.4%.
Which has better air quality, Gorzów Wielkopolski or Wolfsburg?
Wolfsburg right now, at AQI 51 against 52 — a gap of 1 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?
Gorzów Wielkopolski needs about 0 more to reach its canopy target, and Wolfsburg 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.
