Street level rendering of a residential neighborhood with 30% canopy coverage. Respondents were shown similar images for 10%, 50%, 70%, and 90% canopy coverage and asked to select the scene that best represented their neighborhood.
- Figure 2.
Coded responses from our open-ended survey question, “What are the top 3 benefits associated with the trees in your community or neighborhood?” (n = 1,716). Responses were coded using the list of benefits offered to survey respondents in Schroeder and Ruffolo (1996).
- Figure 3.
Coded responses from our open-ended survey question, “What are the 3 biggest drawbacks associated with the trees in your community or neighborhood?” (n = 1,716). Responses were coded using the list of drawbacks offered to survey respondents in Schroeder and Ruffolo (1996).
- Figure 4.
Responses (n = 1,715) to the question, “Have you ever had a negative experience with a tree?” The gray bars labeled “Fewer Trees Only” shows the results associated with respondents who noted they would like fewer trees in their neighborhood or community. This is contrasted with the results from the entire sample (“Overall Average”). Asterisks (*) indicate significant differences between paired bars, with * = P-value < 0.05, ** = P-value < 0.01, and *** = P-value < 0.001.

The percentage of daily, weekly, and more sporadic park/green space users in comparison to their ability to reach a green space within 5 minutes. Results are separated by whether or not the respondent was within a 5-minute walk (average time to walk approximately 300 m) of their nearest park/green space (n = 1,633).

Comparison of current neighborhood canopy coverage to current tree preferences. A test of equal proportions was used to assess if responses to the question, “I would prefer ______ trees in my neighborhood” differed given current canopy coverage (n = 1,716).

Comparison of past canopy changes in respondents’ neighborhoods to their current tree preferences. A test of equal proportions was used to assess if responses to the question, “I would prefer ______ trees in my neighborhood” differed given observed changes in neighborhood canopy (n = 1,716).
