SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test
Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 41 of 100.
This cell's combined hazard score is 49.9; its strongest pillar is heat at 82.9 and its weakest is flood at 3.3. Flood. Flood pillar 3.3, safer than 3% of land cells; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0.17 m.

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.
