How to read this list

Ranked by sites tracked, not by power capacity. A site counts once, under the name its source gives. Another ranking may use capacity or area and order the same names differently.
Operating is a site that is open. Planned is a site that is not open yet: announced, planned or under construction. The two are shown in separate columns and are never added together.
Counts are sites recorded, not a census of the data center market in the United States, and they grow as coverage grows. Power capacity is reported for only some sites, so a blank means not reported, not zero.

How this data is built

Real Assets reads company pages, filings, news and listings, and records figures with a link to the page that published them.

Questions

How are United States data center states ranked?

By sites tracked: the number of data center sites Real Assets has recorded in each state. It is not a ranking by power capacity. Operating is a site that is open. Planned is a site that is not open yet: announced, planned or under construction. They are shown in separate columns and never added together.

Does this list cover every state in the United States?

No. It shows the 15 states with the most sites tracked. Counts are sites Real Assets has recorded, not a census of the data center market in the United States. Power capacity is reported for some sites only: the last column says for how many, and a blank means not reported, not zero.

What do operating and planned mean?

Operating is a site that is open. Planned is a site that is not open yet: announced, planned or under construction. They are shown in separate columns and never added together.
