| Coastal flood depth, 100-year event | Dry at the city centre point | ||
| Water stress | Extremely High (>80%) | Among large cities: above 70% | In China: 1 of 135 |
| Drought risk | High | Among large cities: above 50% | In China: 1 of 135 |
| Earthquake shaking, once in 475 years | 0.52 m/s² | Among large cities: above 46% | In China: 66 of 135 |
| Land burned in an average year | 4% | Among large cities: above 96% | In China: 7 of 135 |
| Cyclone wind, once in 100 years | 0 m/s |
Flood depth is read in a single 1 km cell at the city's centre, in today's climate. Other parts of the city can still flood. The country page names the deepest point near a coastal city in 2080, so its figure can be higher. See how deep a river flood reaches around Xianyang on the live map
