Forest gained and lost, 2000–2020
- Forest in 2000
- 7,850 acres (3,180 ha)
- Forest in 2020
- 9,390 acres (3,800 ha)
- Overall change
- +1,540 acres (622 ha)more forest than in 2000
Comparing satellite maps from 2000 and 2020, the forest around Pompano Beach grew from about 7,850 acres (3,180 hectares) to 9,390 acres (3,800 hectares), a net gain of about 1,540 acres (622 hectares) (+20%). New forest grew on about 1,660 acres (673 hectares), while 126 acres (51 hectares) were lost.
These 2000 and 2020 maps, from the University of Maryland, count any land with trees taller than 5 m as forest, including plantations and orchards. Forest that was cut or burned and had grown back by 2020 counts in both years, so the loss here is smaller than the yearly figures.
These figures cover everything within 10 km of the city center, a wider area than the report above, because forest is usually lost at a city's edges.
