SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test
Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 36 of 100.
This cell's combined hazard score is 45.3; its strongest pillar is wildfire at 84.9 and its weakest is coast at 6.6. Flood. Flood pillar 42.4, safer than 42% of land cells; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0 m.

Wind pillar 15.9, safer than 16% of land cells; tropical storm passes nearby 0.33 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 26.4, safer than 26% of land cells and level with 1%; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 0 events/century.

Coast. Coast pillar 6.6, safer than 7% of land cells; five-hundred-year tsunami run-up on the nearest coast 0.43 m. Source: Global Tsunami Model (vintage: 2017, earthquake sources only). Coverage: Tornado records cover the United States only, so this area has no tornado reading: a gap in the record, not a measured zero. This is a statistical summary of public hazard data, a research estimate, not advice about any property or decision.
Terra scores ~10 km hexagonal cells from public global datasets — it is area analysis, not a property assessment. Tornado history covers the United States only; flood hazard is modeled at ~1 km and ignores local defenses; hurricane records before 1966 and wildfire records before 2001 are incomplete. Where data is missing or coarse for your area, Terra says so instead of guessing.
