Ten pillars (0–100)

SSP5-8.5 2085 stress test

Under the SSP5-8.5 stress test for 2085, the combined score is 33 of 100.

This cell's combined hazard score is 46.0; its strongest pillar is wildfire at 78.6 and its weakest is wind at 10.5. Flood. Flood pillar 17.1, safer than 17% of land cells; modelled hundred-year river flood depth 0.69 m.

Wind pillar 10.5, safer than 10% of land cells; tropical storm passes nearby 1.5 storms/decade. Source: IBTrACS (vintage: v04r01); NOAA Storm Prediction Center (vintage: 1950-2024). Earthquake. Earthquake pillar 63.5, safer than 27% of land cells and level with 73%; large earthquakes nearby since the start of the century before last 0 events/century.

Air quality. Air quality pillar 75.8, safer than 76% of land cells; fine-particle air pollution 7.2 µg/m³. Source: Washington University SatPM2.5 (vintage: 2020-2024 annual mean). Water stress. Water stress pillar 55.4, safer than 55% of land cells; water stress 1.4 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.
