Best areas to live in Jalandhar
Air, heat, flood and greenery compared across 17 areas · free public data
Air is the main story: a typical Jalandhar area averages 67 µg/m³ of PM2.5 a year, and Nov–Jan pushes that to 99 µg/m³ — above India's daily limit of 60. Where you live matters: Suranussi (62 µg/m³) and Laroi (71 µg/m³) are 8 µg/m³ apart.
Heat is a real factor, with around 120 hot or muggy days a year in a typical area and a hottest typical day near 47°C. The monsoon brings about 906 mm of rain. None of the 17 areas we compared sit inside the modelled river/coastal flood zone. Green cover within a short walk is about a tenth of the land in a typical area (19%).
