Beaufort West compared with all land on Earth

The area around Beaufort West scores 52 of 100 today: lower combined natural hazard than 52% of the land on Earth.

Ten pillars (0–100)

SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test

Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 48 of 100.

This cell's combined hazard score is 52.0; its strongest pillar is climate velocity at 61.3 and its weakest is water stress at 14.0. Flood. Flood pillar 58.8, safer than 34% of land cells and level with 49%; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0 m.

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). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 59.1, safer than 18% of land cells and level with 82%; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 0 events/century.

Water stress pillar 14.0, safer than 8% of land cells and level with 13%; water stress 5.0 score. Source: WRI Aqueduct 4.0 (vintage: Aqueduct 4.0, July 2023). Climate velocity. Climate velocity pillar 61.3, safer than 61% of land cells; observed warming rate 0.27 °C/decade. Source: NASA GISTEMP (vintage: 2024). 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.
