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
72.7%
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
+10.5°F
hotter than surrounding areas on average. Pavement absorbs heat, trees block it. That's the whole pitch.
People in the Data
11,282
people live across the 11 Census block groups we analyzed. That's who these numbers represent.

We have Tree Equity data but this city is missing free tree programs, local nurseries, native species info, and community partners. Your local knowledge turns a data page into something people can actually use.

Data only
We know Westwood, NJ's canopy coverage to the decimal. The "where do I get a free tree" part? Still digging through PDFs from 2011.
