U.S. Data Center Tracker (Locations & Insight Map)
Explore an interactive, free-access mapping tool documenting the rapid build-out of AI and data center infrastructure across the United States. Due to the rapidly-evolving speed at which new data centers are being proposed, and to keep our map as up-to-date as possible, the FracTracker team is crowd-sourcing new listings to supplement our own research. Listings are reviewed and validated carefully.
The United States, as of 2025, is home to approximately 50% of the world’s data centers. This graphic from Visual Capitalist (2024), shows the energy use of those data centers in the US as 53.7 GW, or 44% of the world’s share.

Additional Information about sources
There are said to be over 5,500 existing data centers in the United States, based on maps that exist from Datacenters.com, Baxtel, CoreSite, and Datacentermap. These companies do not share their datasets, and strictly forbid scraping of their data. Nonetheless, we encourage our viewers to explore these sites in addition to what FracTracker Alliance is providing herein.
This dataset provides an in-progress tally of permitted, existing, and proposed data centers in the US. We mainly determine the locations of these sites through scans of current media announcements and incorporation of datasets from Piedmont Environmental Council and Science for Georgia (planned and existing). Other sources of information include public records, permit documents, parcel data, and Freedom of Information Act/Right to Know request responses. The main focus of the map is data center proposals (i.e. locations relevant for advocacy), and existing data centers are slowly being added.
