SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test
Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 29 of 100.
This cell's combined hazard score is 40.6; its strongest pillar is climate velocity at 92.1 and its weakest is coast at 3.5. Flood. Flood pillar 13.3, safer than 13% of land cells; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 1.5 m. Source: WRI Aqueduct Floods (vintage: WRI Aqueduct Floods v2 (historical baseline, 100-year RP)); ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Hurricane. Wind pillar 18.4, safer than 18% of land cells; tropical storm passes nearby 0.33 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 63.5, safer than 27% of land cells and level with 73%; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 0 events/century.

Coast pillar 3.5, safer than 4% of land cells; five-hundred-year tsunami run-up on the nearest coast 2.5 m. Source: Global Tsunami Model (vintage: 2017, earthquake sources only). Climate velocity. Climate velocity pillar 92.1, safer than 92% of land cells; observed warming rate 0.17 °C/decade. Source: NASA GISTEMP (vintage: 2024). 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.
