SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test
Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 56 of 100.
This cell's combined hazard score is 57.2; its strongest pillar is air quality at 86.4 and its weakest is wildfire at 41.1. Flood. Flood pillar 57.5, safer than 33% of land cells and level with 49%; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0 m. Source: WRI Aqueduct Floods (vintage: WRI Aqueduct Floods v2 (historical baseline, 100-year RP)); ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Hurricane. Wind pillar 61.2, safer than 22% of land cells and level with 78%; tropical storm passes nearby 0 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Wildfire. Wildfire pillar 41.1, safer than 41% of land cells; satellite fire detections 0.0068 detections/km²/yr.

Air quality. Air quality pillar 86.4, safer than 86% of land cells; fine-particle air pollution 5.4 µg/m³. Source: Washington University SatPM2.5 (vintage: 2020-2024 annual mean). Coverage: No coast data exists for this cell, so it is left out of the combined score and the remaining pillar weights are renormalized. 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.
