For greener, cooler, more equitable cities

Climate-priority screening for heat, canopy, and equity. Defensible, transparent, report-ready.

Canopulse turns official public data on tree canopy, land-surface heat, impervious surface, social vulnerability, and environmental-justice burden into tract-level screening reports you can inspect, cite, and export.

How it works

From public data to a report you can defend.

Screen

Rank every tract by combined heat, canopy, and equity priority using the Urban Canopy Risk Index.

Understand

See the exact drivers behind each score, with raw values and source trails.

Report

Generate a screening report with maps, confidence labels, and planning-ready language.

Export

Print or save reports as PDF, then export CSV and GeoJSON for GIS and grant workflows.

01 / 05

One county. 2,498 census tracts.

Every dot is a real 2020 census tract in Los Angeles County, drawn at its true position.

02 / 05

Layer one: canopy deficit.

NLCD 2021 tree canopy. Cool dots have shade. Warm dots are tree-poor.

03 / 05

Layer two: summer heat.

Landsat surface temperature, summer 2023. The hottest tracts burn orange.

04 / 05

Five layers fuse into one score.

UCRI = 0.25 canopy + 0.25 heat + 0.15 impervious + 0.20 social + 0.15 environmental justice.

05 / 05

451 tracts screen as Extreme.

UCRI shows where to look first. Open the explorer to see why, tract by tract.

New: Grant Evidence Engine

Structured screening evidence for grant work.

The Grant Evidence Engine organizes screening evidence into structured packages for grant-development workflows in urban forestry, heat resilience, and equity-focused funding. Every value carries a traceable, source-linked audit trail. A human-reviewed pilot package is available by request.
