How far are data centers from residential clusters?
Each dot is one campus. Larger dots indicate more current powered IT capacity (MW).
Twenty-five data-center campuses plotted by noise-source distance to the nearest accepted cluster of five or more homes. Distances range from 90 to 2,450 meters; the median is 540 meters and 21 of 25 are below 1,000 meters. Dot area represents current powered IT capacity. Vertical position has no analytical meaning.
