How this ranking works
Major-city rankings use the same composite HomeRiskIQ score as the all-city index, limited to cities with population of at least 50,000 to create a media-ready comparison set.
Rankings are built from HomeRiskIQ hazard tiles and current state/city scoring. They are designed for comparative research and media context, not official warning decisions.
