Ten pillars (0–100)

SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test

Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 11 of 100.

This cell's combined hazard score is 25.3; its strongest pillar is climate velocity at 82.2 and its weakest is coast at 3.8. Flood. Flood pillar 18.3, safer than 18% of land cells; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0.26 m. Source: WRI Aqueduct Floods (vintage: WRI Aqueduct Floods v2 (historical baseline, 100-year RP)); ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Hurricane. Wind pillar 19.3, safer than 19% of land cells; tropical storm passes nearby 0.16 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 5.7, safer than 6% of land cells; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 3.2 events/century.

Coast pillar 3.8, safer than 4% of land cells; five-hundred-year tsunami run-up on the nearest coast 2.1 m. Source: Global Tsunami Model (vintage: 2017, earthquake sources only). Climate velocity. Climate velocity pillar 82.2, safer than 82% of land cells; observed warming rate 0.21 °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.
