This cell's combined hazard score is 39.3; its strongest pillar is air quality at 72.6 and its weakest is earthquake at 17.1. Flood. Flood pillar 57.0, safer than 41% of land cells and level with 32%; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0.078 m.

Wind pillar 29.9, safer than 29% of land cells and level with 2%; tornado touchdowns nearby 1.5 touchdowns/decade. Source: NOAA Storm Prediction Center (vintage: 1950-2024). Hurricane. Wind pillar 29.9, safer than 29% of land cells and level with 2%; tropical storm passes nearby 0.33 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 17.1, safer than 6% of land cells and level with 23%; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 4.8 events/century.

Air quality pillar 72.6, safer than 73% of land cells; fine-particle air pollution 7.8 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. 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.
