About one-fifth of the city’s land has tree cover, but the tree canopy is not distributed equally. Many of the city’s wealthier neighborhoods, such as Chestnut Hill and Roxborough, have tree canopies of 40% or higher. Other less affluent areas, including Kensington, Oxford Circle, and North Philadelphia, have tree canopies of less than 10%. City officials are designing a plan to expand tree canopy to 30% in all neighborhoods.
