This cell's combined hazard score is 33.2; its strongest pillar is flood at 83.9 and its weakest is earthquake at 3.3. Flood. Flood pillar 83.9, safer than 84% of land cells; 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). Hurricane. Wind pillar 16.3, safer than 16% of land cells; tropical storm passes nearby 0.33 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 3.3, safer than 3% of land cells; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 7.1 events/century.

Air quality. Air quality pillar 64.9, safer than 65% of land cells; fine-particle air pollution 9.4 µg/m³. Source: Washington University SatPM2.5 (vintage: 2020-2024 annual mean). Coverage: No coast data exists for this cell, so it is left out of the combined score and the remaining pillar weights are renormalized. 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.
