Table 3.

Population density and vegetation at measurement sites.

High-density residential Medium/low-density residential Commercial, business, industrial Peri-urban background
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) (value range: 0–1)* 0.09 (0.03) 0.13 (0.04) 0.10 (0.03) 0.22 (0.06)
Population density (people/km2) 35,833 (42,011) 6881 (9612) 7966 (9220) 1701 (3867)

Data are summarized as means and standard deviations within land use areas.

*To capture vegetation in the area surrounding each site, we created a 200 m radius buffer around the site and calculated the average NDVI within it. NDVI can be a negative value, which would indicate water, though at all of our measurement sites, NDVI levels were positive between 0 and + 1.
