Which neighborhoods in Berkeley are graced with the lushest tree canopy? And which neighborhoods suffer from relatively paltry tree coverings and all the attendant woes – aesthetically lacking streets, harsher air pollution and an unpleasant heat-island effect?
The answers are revealed in a series of maps produced by the national nonprofit American Forests, which assign neighborhoods “tree-equity scores” based on existing canopy cover, population density and socioeconomic factors like race and income. As one would expect, in Berkeley the richer areas in the hills and north enjoy high tree scores, while more diverse and lower-income communities to the west and south are still playing catch-up.
