Map
Each bubble represents a market — a geographic cluster of data center activity — not a single facility. Bubble size reflects total market capacity across all operators, including operational, under-construction, and planned facilities. Toggle layers to compare markets against regional power availability, water stress, and grid constraints. Hover or tap any marker for details.

This map tracks data center development across the United States. The Data Center Markets layer sizes each market by total capacity, including operational, under-construction, and planned facilities, measured in gigawatts. It spans established hubs such as Northern Virginia, Dallas-Fort Worth, Phoenix, Chicago, and Atlanta, and emerging markets such as the Texas Panhandle, southern New Mexico, and southeast Wisconsin. Power Availability shows regional grid headroom based on utility and FERC interconnection data, Water Stress reflects WRI Aqueduct water-risk data, and Grid Constraints marks areas where interconnection backlogs or capacity limits are delaying new builds. The Legislation layer shades states by the sentiment of bills tracked on the Legislation page, and Local Moratoriums shows states and localities with active or proposed pauses on data center permits. Data is drawn from CBRE, JLL, EIA, WRI, FERC, public utility filings, OpenStates and LegiScan bill data, and the Digest’s own reporting.
