Abstract As cities around the world expand, we urgently need to better understand drivers of urban biodiversity, especially for functionally important groups such as insect pollinators. In this study, gathered hoverfly and bumble bee pollinator observations from natural history collections community science initiatives 462 landscapes across 85 US metropolitan areas. We tested whether greenspace functions habitat by examining total area in an landscape predicted occurrence, that is, presence or absence species a landscape. Our study was designed determine there were differences between (i.e., greenbelts, nature reserves forest/grassland fragments) developed managed parks, cemeteries golf courses) their ability support diversity species. After accounting sampling biases using integrated occupancy modeling approach, found positive association native occurrence area. This implies with more higher diversity. On average, not associated area; however, response varied among species, several at‐risk bees showing association. contrast area, no greenspace. addition, proportion racial minority households negatively occurrence. is consistent hypothesis systematic, unjust policies neighborhoods has lasting negative impacts on biodiversity. conclusion, our results vital recommend preservation remnant improve greenspaces order promote conservation. These efforts should be prioritized equal access ecosystem services.
