SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test
Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 46 of 100.
This cell's combined hazard score is 49.3; its strongest pillar is water stress at 74.4 and its weakest is ground at 14.5. Flood. Flood pillar 22.6, safer than 6% of land cells and level with 32%; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 7.5 m. Source: WRI Aqueduct Floods (vintage: WRI Aqueduct Floods v2 (historical baseline, 100-year RP)); ERA5 (vintage: ERA5 reanalysis 1991-2020). Tornado. Wind pillar 60.8, safer than 35% of land cells and level with 52%; tornado touchdowns nearby 1.1 touchdowns/decade. Source: NOAA Storm Prediction Center (vintage: 1950-2024). Hurricane. Wind pillar 60.8, safer than 35% of land cells and level with 52%; tropical storm passes nearby 0 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Water stress. Water stress pillar 74.4, safer than 62% of land cells and level with 25%; water stress 0 score. Source: WRI Aqueduct 4.0 (vintage: Aqueduct 4.0, July 2023). Ground. Ground pillar 14.5, safer than 14% of land cells; landslide susceptibility class 2.3 class (1–5).

Coverage: No coast data exists for this cell, so it is left out of the combined score and the remaining pillar weights are renormalized. 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.
