SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test
Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 24 of 100.
This cell's combined hazard score is 33.8; its strongest pillar is ground at 71.6 and its weakest is air quality at 4.1. Flood. Flood pillar 18.5, safer than 18% of land cells; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0 m.

Wind pillar 63.7, safer than 27% of land cells and level with 73%; tropical storm passes nearby 0 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 5.5, safer than 6% of land cells; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 2.4 events/century.

Air quality pillar 4.1, safer than 4% of land cells; fine-particle air pollution 42.2 µg/m³. Source: Washington University SatPM2.5 (vintage: 2020-2024 annual mean). Ground. Ground pillar 71.6, safer than 72% of land cells; landslide susceptibility class 1.1 class (1–5).

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, 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.
