SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test
Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 28 of 100.
This cell's combined hazard score is 35.4; its strongest pillar is wildfire at 88.4 and its weakest is ground at 3.6. Flood. Flood pillar 7.1, safer than 7% of land cells and level with 0%; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0 m.

Wind pillar 23.6, safer than 24% of land cells; tropical storm passes nearby 0.16 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 3.9, safer than 4% of land cells; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 0.79 events/century.

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.
