Best areas to live in Agra
Air, heat, flood and greenery compared across 10 areas · free public data
Air is the main story: a typical Agra area averages 74 µg/m³ of PM2.5 a year, and Nov–Jan pushes that to 117 µg/m³ — above India's daily limit of 60. Where you live matters: Shahganj (63 µg/m³) and Khandri (81 µg/m³) are 18 µg/m³ apart.
Heat is a real factor, with around 156 hot or muggy days a year in a typical area and a hottest typical day near 47°C. The monsoon brings about 661 mm of rain. None of the 10 areas we compared sit inside the modelled river/coastal flood zone. Green cover within a short walk is about a quarter of the land in a typical area (29%).
