Common questions

Which state has the most AI data centers?

Among the states DEPLOY tracks, Texas leads with 607 AI data centers, followed by Virginia (338) and California (222). Each state has its own hub with the full list.

How is a state counted?

Each tracked campus and facility is rolled up to its US state by walking its location from city to county to state. A site whose location has no resolvable US state is not attributed to any state, so the ranking is a floor.

Does this count campuses and facilities together?

Yes. The total column counts both tiers, and the table breaks each state into its campus count (large AI-scale sites with a capacity ledger) and its facility count (colocation and hyperscale buildings). See which operators run the most.

Why is Virginia usually near the top?

Northern Virginia has the densest concentration of data center capacity in the world, so it tends to lead any count. DEPLOY records the sites individually rather than asserting a market-wide total, so the ranking reflects verified records, not estimates.
