SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test

Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 49 of 100.

This cell's combined hazard score is 51.1; its strongest pillar is air quality at 79.5 and its weakest is water stress at 32.7. Flood. Flood pillar 50.9, safer than 35% of land cells and level with 32%; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0.42 m.

Water stress pillar 32.7, safer than 26% of land cells and level with 13%; water stress 5.0 score. Source: WRI Aqueduct 4.0 (vintage: Aqueduct 4.0, July 2023). Coverage: Every pillar has data for this cell. 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.
