American Forests' Tree Equity Score combines tree canopy coverage, surface temperature, income, employment, race, age, and health data to identify where trees are needed most. Scores range from 0 to 100, and areas below 60 are priority for investment.

Equity Indicators
These factors show how tree canopy gaps overlap with social and environmental vulnerabilities.
1930s Redlining
69.2%
of neighborhoods were graded "hazardous" or "declining" on 1930s federal lending maps. Banks refused to invest in these areas, and many are still under-treed decades later.
Environmental Justice
0.0%
No neighborhoods here meet the federal threshold for environmental and economic burden. That's a good thing.
Heat Island Effect
-3.9°F
cooler than surrounding areas on average. The canopy is doing its job here.
