The area around Madera scores 42 of 100 today: lower combined natural hazard than 42% of the land on Earth.

Ten pillars (0–100)

SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test

Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 40 of 100.

This cell's combined hazard score is 41.8; its strongest pillar is ground at 73.7 and its weakest is wildfire at 19.2. Flood. Flood pillar 51.2, safer than 27% of land cells and level with 49%; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0 m. Source: WRI Aqueduct Floods (vintage: WRI Aqueduct Floods v2 (historical baseline, 100-year RP)); ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Tornado. Wind pillar 55.1, safer than 29% of land cells and level with 52%; tornado touchdowns nearby 5.3 touchdowns/decade. Source: NOAA Storm Prediction Center (vintage: 1950-2024). Hurricane. Wind pillar 55.1, safer than 29% of land cells and level with 52%; tropical storm passes nearby 0 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Wildfire. Wildfire pillar 19.2, safer than 19% of land cells; satellite fire detections 0.060 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). Ground. Ground pillar 73.7, safer than 47% of land cells and level with 53%; landslide susceptibility class 1.0 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.
