Ten pillars (0–100)

SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test

Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 32 of 100.

This cell's combined hazard score is 42.4; its strongest pillar is air quality at 84.8 and its weakest is coast at 5.7. Flood. Flood pillar 14.9, safer than 15% of land cells; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0.71 m.

Wind pillar 6.1, safer than 6% of land cells; tornado touchdowns nearby 3.5 touchdowns/decade. Source: NOAA Storm Prediction Center (vintage: 1950-2024). Hurricane. Wind pillar 6.1, safer than 6% of land cells; tropical storm passes nearby 2.8 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01). Earthquake.

Air quality pillar 84.8, safer than 85% of land cells; fine-particle air pollution 5.7 µg/m³. Source: Washington University SatPM2.5 (vintage: 2020-2024 annual mean). Coast. Coast pillar 5.7, safer than 6% of land cells; five-hundred-year tsunami run-up on the nearest coast 0.74 m. Source: Global Tsunami Model (vintage: 2017, earthquake sources only). 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.
