📊 Beyond Averages: Spatial Heterogeneity in Calgary (LULC v6.0)
Averages mask reality. To capture ecological stratification across Calgary's residential communities (excl. major parks/building-out and industrial zones), I combined Violin + Box Plots:
🔹 Solid (Impervious): Median ~67% (IQR 55–74%). High-thermal non-vegetated surfaces are a systemic structural feature across nearly all neighborhoods.
🔹 Park vs. Lawn (Canopy vs. Turf): Park median (~20%) doubles Lawn (~10%). A long upper tail (>50%) highlights spatial inequality in tree cover.
🔹 Forest & Water: Near 0% for 95% of communities, but sharp needles (up to 25% forest, 16% water) mark outliers with lakes or remnant woods.
💡 Takeaway: Calgary isn't homogenous—microclimatic comfort heavily depends on geographic boundaries.Full analysis coming soon: https://www.datastory.org.ua/

Neighborhoods with trees are healthier, cooler, and safer. Black & Brown neighborhoods are more likely to lack tress. That is systemic racism. The harm of redlining isn't only historical, it continues to this day.

One of the many harmful legacies of redlining is inequity in neighborhood tree coverage:
“Tree equity: Who gets trees in their neighborhood?
Why are some neighborhoods so much greener than others? ... It turns out that neighborhoods that were historically redlined in the ‘30s and ‘40s live today with only half the tree cover of their "greenlined" neighborhood counterparts.”

To combat the health impacts of extreme heat, trees are key. They provide crucial cooling, which helps keep outdoor spaces safe and accessible. Initiatives like Phoenix’s Cool Corridors show how planting trees in high-use areas can promote activity and resilience. With rapidly rising global temperatures, investing in tree cover is essential for maintaining healthy, active communities.
