Ten pillars (0–100)

SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test

Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 42 of 100.

This cell's combined hazard score is 48.5; its strongest pillar is heat at 63.8 and its weakest is flood at 27.3. Flood. Flood pillar 27.3, safer than 11% of land cells and level with 32%; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0.50 m. Source: WRI Aqueduct Floods (vintage: WRI Aqueduct Floods v2 (historical baseline, 100-year RP)); ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Hurricane. 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.

Wildfire pillar 28.7, safer than 29% of land cells; satellite fire detections 0.030 detections/km²/yr. Source: NASA FIRMS (vintage: MODIS C6.1 2001-2024, vegetation fires, confidence >= 30); NASA FIRMS VIIRS (vintage: VIIRS NOAA-20 2020-2024, vegetation fires, nominal or high confidence); ERA5 Fire Weather Index (vintage: 1991-2020). Heat. Heat pillar 63.8, safer than 52% of land cells and level with 25%; days a year above thirty-five °C 0.57 days/year. Source: ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). 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.
