On: The Struggle with Where the Sidewalks Won't Go

I would call an increase from 27% to 36% a 33% increase in tree coverage compared to the average city.

Not only that, it's the top tree covered city on the source article for that wiki entry:

Also based on that list, the 27% average seems to be artificially high by giving equal weight to cities of all size given how the largest US cities are all well below 20%.
