It wasn't mentioned in the report above, but tree cover in cities in the US tends to echo class/race division lines. The higher the income, the more tree cover. They said that Austin had about 41% tree cover, but it was not evenly distributed. There is more on the west side of Austin. https://www.censusdots.com/race/austin-tx-demographics #Texas #UrbanForest #Class #Race
