SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test
Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 29 of 100.
This cell's combined hazard score is 37.5; its strongest pillar is climate velocity at 91.1 and its weakest is earthquake at 0.7. Flood. Flood pillar 28.7, safer than 29% of land cells; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0.23 m. Source: WRI Aqueduct Floods (vintage: WRI Aqueduct Floods v2 (historical baseline, 100-year RP)); ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Hurricane. Wind pillar 63.7, safer than 27% of land cells and level with 73%; tropical storm passes nearby 0 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 0.7, safer than 1% of land cells; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 13.5 events/century.

Climate velocity. Climate velocity pillar 91.1, safer than 91% of land cells; observed warming rate 0.17 °C/decade. Source: NASA GISTEMP (vintage: 2024). 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.
