Find Data Centers by State and Distance Anywhere in The US!
This interactive US data center map shows the location of data centers across all 50 states, sourced from OpenStreetMap. Use the state filter to find data centers in a specific state, click any marker to open its details and draw a distance buffer around it, or use the Find nearest data center tool to click anywhere on the map and instantly measure the distance to the closest facility.
Explore US Data Center Locations
Data centers are among the most critical pieces of infrastructure in the modern economy — and their geography matters. Whether you need to find data centers near you, understand which states have the highest concentration of facilities, or measure the distance to the nearest data center from any location, this tool gives you a live view of the US data center landscape.
How to Use This Map
Find the Nearest Data Center to Any Location
Click the Find nearest data center button above the map — it turns blue to show it is active, and the cursor becomes a crosshair. Then click anywhere on the map to represent your location. A dashed line appears connecting your click point to the closest data center, with the facility name and distance shown in both miles and kilometers directly below the toolbar. Click Cancel to exit without measuring, or click the Clear link in the result to reset.
Draw a Distance Buffer Around a Data Center
Click any blue marker on the map to open that facility’s pop-up. At the bottom of the pop-up, you will see a Draw buffer control with a miles input. Type the radius you want (default is 25 miles — any value from 1 to 500 miles works) and click Draw. A dashed circle appears on the map centred on that facility at the radius you specified, and the map zooms to fit it. To remove the circle, click Clear buffer in the toolbar above the map.
Filter Data Centers by State
Use the Filter by state dropdown above the map to show only facilities in a single state. The map automatically zooms to fit those results and the counter updates. Select All states to return to the full national view.
If the Map Does Not Load
Data loads live from OpenStreetMap each time you visit. If the primary server is busy, the map automatically retries using a backup server. If both are unavailable, an error message appears with a Retry button. The OpenStreetMap data service is occasionally under maintenance; waiting a few minutes and retrying is usually sufficient. Once loaded, data is cached in your browser for the rest of your session so page refreshes are instant.
Data Centers by State
The United States has significant data center infrastructure in nearly every state. The map covers data centers in Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Concentration varies significantly by state. Virginia has the highest density of data centers in the United States, driven by the Northern Virginia market in Loudoun and Prince William counties — the largest data center market in the world. California data centers are concentrated in Silicon Valley (Santa Clara, San Jose) and the Los Angeles basin. Texas data centers cluster in Dallas-Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio. Arizona data centers are concentrated in the Phoenix metro. Georgia data centers are mostly in Atlanta. Oregon data centers are clustered in Hillsboro and the Portland metro, serving as a Pacific Northwest hub for major cloud providers.
States with the fastest-growing data center pipelines as of 2026 include Indiana, Wyoming, Ohio, and Georgia — driven by land availability, low power costs, and proximity to renewable energy sources.
Where Are US Data Centers Concentrated?
Data center geography is shaped by three primary factors: access to affordable or renewable power, dense fiber connectivity, and proximity to end users. The top US data center markets — Northern Virginia, Phoenix, Dallas-Fort Worth, Chicago, Atlanta, and Portland/Hillsboro — all score well on all three.
These facilities are major electricity consumers. To understand the grid infrastructure that serves them, explore our US electric power transmission lines map, which shows the high-voltage grid connecting generation sources to industrial loads across the country.
The AI Data Center Buildout
Since 2024, AI training and inference workloads have driven an unprecedented wave of US data center construction. Hyperscale campuses purpose-built for GPU-dense AI compute routinely exceed 100 MW of power capacity — far beyond traditional cloud workloads. This buildout is concentrated in states with large available power capacity: Texas, Virginia, Georgia, Indiana, and Wyoming have all seen major announcements. Several major technology companies have signed power purchase agreements directly with nuclear operators to secure the baseload capacity these facilities require — a trend you can visualize by comparing data center clusters against our US nuclear power stations map.
Data Sources and Limitations
This map fetches data in real time from OpenStreetMap via the Overpass API, using the telecom=data_center tag. OpenStreetMap is a community-edited open dataset licensed under the Open Database License. Coverage is strong in major markets but may be incomplete for smaller or less publicly visible facilities. If you know of a data center missing from this map, you can add it to OpenStreetMap and it will appear here automatically on next load.
Data is cached in your browser session after the first load, so returning to this page is instant. Our electrical substation finder uses the same approach to map power infrastructure near any location worldwide.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find data centers near me?
Click Find nearest data center in the toolbar, then click your approximate location on the map. The tool draws a straight line to the nearest mapped data center and shows the distance in miles and kilometers. You can also use the state filter to narrow results to your state first.
What is the distance to the nearest data center from my location?
Use the Find nearest data center tool: click the button, then click your location. The answer appears instantly beneath the toolbar. In densely populated states like Virginia, California, and Texas, the nearest data center is often within a few miles. In rural states, the nearest facility may be 50–200 miles away.
How do I draw a buffer around a data center?
Click any data center marker to open its popup. Enter a radius in miles in the buffer control and click Draw. The map draws a circle at that radius around the facility. Click Clear buffer to remove it.
Which US state has the most data centers?
Virginia has the highest concentration, anchored by the Northern Virginia market in Loudoun and Prince William counties. California and Texas rank close behind in total facility count. Virginia leads in total capacity because of the density and scale of facilities in the Ashburn area.
Why are so many data centers in Northern Virginia?
Northern Virginia’s dominance dates to the 1990s when AOL established a major internet hub in Ashburn, creating a self-reinforcing concentration of fiber, skilled workers, and colocation infrastructure. Today a majority of global internet traffic passes through Loudoun County at some point.
What is a hyperscale data center?
A hyperscale data center is a large-scale facility typically exceeding 5,000 servers and 10,000 square feet of floor space, operated by cloud providers such as AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and Meta. In practice the term is applied to campuses routinely exceeding 100 MW of power capacity.
How much power do US data centers use?
US data centers consumed approximately 200 terawatt-hours of electricity in 2023, roughly 4% of total US generation. AI-driven growth is projected to push this toward 6–9% by 2030. Compare this to national generating capacity using our global power plants map.
Is the data on this map current?
Yes — the map fetches live data from OpenStreetMap each time you visit (and caches it for the duration of your browser session). The underlying OSM data is continuously edited by contributors, so recently added or corrected facilities appear without any action on your part.
