Common questions

How many AI data centers are there in the US?

DEPLOY tracks 3,524 AI data centers across the United States: 117 flagship campuses and 3,407 colocation and hyperscale facilities, run by 848 distinct operators across 51 states. Every record is reviewed and links to its primary source.

What counts as an AI data center here?

Two tiers. A campus is a large, individually tracked AI-scale site with its own capacity ledger (announced vs energized gigawatts, parties, power sourcing). A facility is a colocation or hyperscale building attributed to its operator, city, and status. Both are counted; the record says which tier each is. See what AI data centers do.

Is this every data center in the country?

No. It is the reviewed, first-party-sourced set DEPLOY has verified, not a census of every server room. Coverage skews to AI-scale and operator-disclosed sites. Each row is deduplicated and sourced, so the count is a floor you can audit, not an estimate.

Which states have the most?

The leaders are Texas (607), Virginia (338), California (222), Illinois (168), Georgia (161). The full ranking is on the states answer page.

How often is this updated?

The registry is continuously reviewed and a daily change-capture pass records when a site's status, capacity, or operator changes. New reviewed sites enter the count as they are verified.
