Ten pillars (0–100)

SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test

Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 52 of 100.

This cell's combined hazard score is 56.4; its strongest pillar is climate velocity at 71.9 and its weakest is wildfire at 38.5. Flood. Flood pillar 59.6, safer than 35% of land cells and level with 49%; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0 m.

Wind pillar 58.2, safer than 32% of land cells and level with 52%; tornado touchdowns nearby 2.3 touchdowns/decade. Source: NOAA Storm Prediction Center (vintage: 1950-2024). Hurricane.

Climate velocity. Climate velocity pillar 71.9, safer than 72% of land cells; observed warming rate 0.24 °C/decade. Source: NASA GISTEMP (vintage: 2024). 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.
