Best areas to live in Amritsar

Air, heat, flood and greenery compared across 7 areas · free public data

Air is the main story: a typical Amritsar area averages 71 µg/m³ of PM2.5 a year, and Nov–Jan pushes that to 109 µg/m³ — above India's daily limit of 60. Where you live matters: Nangli (65 µg/m³) and Khalsa College (72 µg/m³) are 7 µg/m³ apart.

Heat is a real factor, with around 131 hot or muggy days a year in a typical area and a hottest typical day near 48°C. The monsoon brings about 756 mm of rain. None of the 7 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 (26%).
