This cell's combined hazard score is 41.2; its strongest pillar is wind at 60.4 and its weakest is earthquake at 20.1. Flood. Flood pillar 54.7, safer than 30% 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). Wind. Wind pillar 60.4, safer than 34% of land cells and level with 52%; tropical storm passes nearby 0 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01); NOAA Storm Prediction Center (vintage: 1950-2024). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 20.1, safer than 8% of land cells and level with 24%; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 3.2 events/century.

Air quality. Air quality pillar 55.6, safer than 56% of land cells; fine-particle air pollution 11.4 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. 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.
