Frequently asked questions

How many data centers are in the US?

This data center map tracks 4,800 US facilities across 52 states and territories: 3,687 operational, 229 under construction, and 857 planned or approved. Counts differ between sources because there is no standard unit for a data center. A campus, a building and a hall can each be counted as one.

Which US state has the most data centers?

Texas leads with 591 tracked facilities, ahead of Virginia at 505 and California at 411.

How much US data center capacity is actually running?

About 61.6 GW sits at facilities marked operational, out of 317 GW tracked. Megawatts are reported for 31% of operational facilities against 43% of planned ones, and where an operational site reports a figure the median is 10 MW against 200 MW for a planned campus. Much of the running fleet is older colocation space that never published a power figure, so the operational total understates what is actually running.

Where is the biggest data center buildout happening?

Northern Virginia (Data Center Alley) is the largest tracked market at 388 facilities, followed by Dallas–Fort Worth at 226. The map's pipeline view shows what is under construction and planned in each.
