Ivano-Frankivsk vs Tychy
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.
Tychy has more tree cover — 68.1% against 43.3%.
Tychy has cleaner air right now — AQI 32 against 34.

What each city is breathing
Concentrations in µg/m³, measured at the same moment as the index above. Lower is better in every row. Both are read from nearby ground stations.

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. Tychy leads here at 68.1%.
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: Ivano-Frankivsk reads 34 (good) and Tychy reads 32 (good) right now.
Frequently asked
Ivano-Frankivsk and Tychy, answered
Which has more trees, Ivano-Frankivsk or Tychy?
Tychy, with roughly 213,942 trees inside its 2 km radius against 133,174. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Tychy has the denser canopy at 68.1%.
Which has better air quality, Ivano-Frankivsk or Tychy?
Tychy right now, at AQI 32 against 34 — a gap of 2 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?
Ivano-Frankivsk needs about 0 more to reach its canopy target, and Tychy 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.
