Tree Cover and Income in Residential Neighborhoods

The three Philadelphia zip codes with more than 40% tree cover have median household incomes far higher than the citywide level of $45,927. Other higher-income zip codes, such as those in Fishtown and Northern Liberties, have tree cover of less than 10%, a legacy of their industrial heritages.

Excluded are four Center City zip codes (19102, 19103, 19106, and 19107) and two in South Philadelphia (19145 and 19148) with large nonresidential areas.
