Geographic files and documentation: 16-510-X2024003
Description: This product contains gridded datasets of annual estimates of average normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI) and green/grey classification.

"Urban greenness" is a measure that assesses the condition and health of an urban landscape. Vegetation contributes to more livable, beautiful communities by helping to clean the air, moderate the local climate, control water flow and provide habitats for wildlife.

Annual average normalized difference vegetation index datasets and annual green/grey classifications are available for the years 2000 to 2025 and cover Canada south of 60°N.
