Ten pillars (0–100)

SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test

Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 35 of 100.

This cell's combined hazard score is 35.9; its strongest pillar is air quality at 57.7 and its weakest is ground at 14.9. Flood. Flood pillar 51.1, safer than 35% of land cells and level with 32%; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0.11 m. Source: WRI Aqueduct Floods (vintage: WRI Aqueduct Floods v2 (historical baseline, 100-year RP)); ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Tornado. Wind pillar 31.7, safer than 31% of land cells and level with 2%; tornado touchdowns nearby 0.93 touchdowns/decade. Source: NOAA Storm Prediction Center (vintage: 1950-2024). Hurricane. Wind pillar 31.7, safer than 31% of land cells and level with 2%; tropical storm passes nearby 0.33 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Air quality. Air quality pillar 57.7, safer than 58% of land cells; fine-particle air pollution 11.0 µg/m³. Source: Washington University SatPM2.5 (vintage: 2020-2024 annual mean). Ground. Ground pillar 14.9, safer than 15% of land cells; landslide susceptibility class 2.4 class (1–5). Source: NASA landslide susceptibility (vintage: 2023 update); NOAA NCEI volcanoes (vintage: NCEI HazEL, accessed 2026). 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.
