Air quality. Air quality pillar 77.3, safer than 77% of land cells; fine-particle air pollution 7.0 µg/m³. Source: Washington University SatPM2.5 (vintage: 2020-2024 annual mean). Water stress. Water stress pillar 76.6, safer than 77% of land cells; water stress 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, 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.
