Netanya vs Petaẖ Tiqva
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.
Petaẖ Tiqva has more tree cover — 13.5% against 12.8%.
Petaẖ Tiqva has cleaner air right now — AQI 5 against 54.

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. Petaẖ Tiqva leads here at 13.5%.
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: Netanya reads 54 (moderate) and Petaẖ Tiqva reads 5 (good) right now.
Frequently asked
Netanya and Petaẖ Tiqva, answered
Which has more trees, Netanya or Petaẖ Tiqva?
Petaẖ Tiqva, with roughly 42,412 trees inside its 2 km radius against 31,366. Tree cover tells a slightly different story from raw count: Petaẖ Tiqva has the denser canopy at 13.5%.
Which has better air quality, Netanya or Petaẖ Tiqva?
Petaẖ Tiqva right now, at AQI 5 against 54 — a gap of 49 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?
Netanya needs about 42,148 more to reach its canopy target, and Petaẖ Tiqva about 51,836. 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.
