How our United States data centerfigures are sourced.

Every United States data center figure on Real Assets links to the page that published it. Counts are sites tracked, not a census. As of 21 October 2026: 871 sites, 871 with a source link.

What we record

Real Assets reads company pages, filings, reports, news and listings, and records what they state about United States data centers: where a site is, who runs it, what status it has and, where a source gives one, a figure such as power capacity. As of 21 October 2026 that is 871 sites, 809 of them placed on a map, and 4,087 sourced figures.

What a source line means

Every figure in the workspace carries a source line: the publisher, the link to the page, the date we read it and, for a report, the page and the exact words it prints. A source line says where a figure was read, not that we checked the figure against anything else. 871 of the 871 sites here carry a source link; the others are listed as recorded and their figures are not shown as sourced. Publishers behind this market's data include Epoch AI, Data Center Dynamics, Baxtel, SemiAnalysis, CyrusOne.

Counts are sites tracked, not a census

A count on these pages is the number of sites Real Assets has recorded, not the number that exist, so it can be lower than a figure published by a body that counts the whole market. Rankings are by sites tracked unless a page says otherwise, so they can differ from a ranking by capacity or area. Power capacity is reported for 602 of 871 sites; a site with no reported figure adds nothing to a total.

Operating and planned

Operating means a site that is open. Planned means a site that is not open yet: announced, planned or under construction. The two are shown side by side and are never added together, because a planned site may change, move or not be built.

Rates and benchmarks are not on these pages yet

Market rates such as vacancy, rent, yield and cap rate are not published on the public pages. The workspace holds some of them from published reports, but a person has not reviewed them yet, so we do not present them as checked. Where publishers give different figures for the same market, a benchmark will show each publisher with its period and definition side by side and will not blend them into one number.

Updates and corrections

Public figures are updated as sites, sources and deals are added; this page's figures are as of 21 October 2026. To report a mistake or ask where a figure comes from, write to hello@analystai.ai.
