Ten pillars (0–100)

SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test

Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 40 of 100.

This cell's combined hazard score is 45.4; its strongest pillar is air quality at 93.2 and its weakest is wildfire at 17.2. Flood. Flood pillar 50.9, safer than 51% of land cells; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0 m.

Wind pillar 24.6, safer than 25% of land cells; tornado touchdowns nearby 2.8 touchdowns/decade. Source: NOAA Storm Prediction Center (vintage: 1950-2024). Hurricane.

Air quality. Air quality pillar 93.2, safer than 93% of land cells; fine-particle air pollution 4.3 µg/m³. Source: Washington University SatPM2.5 (vintage: 2020-2024 annual mean). 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.
