It is based on &#8220;live tally trees&#8221; and their &#8220;canopies&#8221; (outlines of foilage) sampled across 144 square feet areas, then calculated as a percentage of tree cover.  It excludes non-tree cropland as well as lawns.  To correct for the sometimes ambiguous results in high- as well as low-density urban areas, each of these categories of land use undergoes an additional masking process to achieve more accurate results.
