## Summary

Nestled in the Southern California, Pomona is home to an estimated 15,691 
residents based on the 2019 Census. Pomona was once an agricultural city 
but has now become industrially dominated by commercial buildings with 
large parking lots (impervious surfaces).  While the city may appear to 
be full of vegetation, there are many areas with sparse plant coverage.

An environmental analysis was conducted to help understand which areas of the
city were lacking vegetation, specifically trees.
