Ten pillars (0–100)

SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test

Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 20 of 100.

This cell's combined hazard score is 25.4; its strongest pillar is climate velocity at 59.1 and its weakest is wind at 3.9. Flood. Flood pillar 29.0, safer than 13% of land cells and level with 32%; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0.28 m. Source: WRI Aqueduct Floods (vintage: WRI Aqueduct Floods v2 (historical baseline, 100-year RP)); ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Wind. Wind pillar 3.9, safer than 4% of land cells; tropical storm passes nearby 2.0 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 6.7, safer than 7% of land cells; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 2.4 events/century. Source: USGS ComCat (vintage: ComCat M≥6.5 1900–2025, M≥5 1973–2025); USGS Slab2 (vintage: Slab2, March 2018). Wildfire. Wildfire pillar 34.7, safer than 34% of land cells and level with 1%; satellite fire detections 0.11 detections/km²/yr. Source: NASA FIRMS (vintage: MODIS C6.1 2001-2024, vegetation fires, confidence >= 30); NASA FIRMS VIIRS (vintage: VIIRS NOAA-20 2020-2024, vegetation fires, nominal or high confidence); ERA5 Fire Weather Index (vintage: 1991-2020). Climate velocity. Climate velocity pillar 59.1, safer than 59% of land cells; observed warming rate 0.27 °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, 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.
