Data Centers Near Me: Lookup by State and County
Enter a ZIP code or pick a county to see the data centers that appear in official state records there. We only list facilities a state agency has a record of, so coverage is limited to Virginia, Texas, Georgia, Ohio, Utah, Michigan and North Carolina for now, out of 51 states and DC. Where we have no official list, the lookup says so rather than guessing.

How this was built
The lookup searches the facility records behind our state pages: Virginia DEQ issued air permits for data centers; Texas county tax abatements and TCEQ air permits (the Comptroller lists give no location); Georgia EPD air quality permits for data centers; Ohio EPA air permit public notices for data centers; Utah DAQ approval orders and applications for data centers; Michigan EGLE site records for data centers (partial); NC DAQ active air permits for data centers (partial). A ZIP code is matched to its county or counties with the Census Bureau's 2020 ZIP Code Tabulation Area to county relationship file, and every record in those counties is shown.
Limits of this data
- Coverage is Virginia, Texas, Georgia, Ohio, Utah, Michigan and North Carolina only, and partial in Michigan and North Carolina. Every other state shows no results because we have not compiled an official list there yet, not because there are no data centers.
- Records are permits or registrations, not confirmed operating buildings; a permit can cover a campus, and small sites below permitting thresholds are missing.
- Census ZIP code areas approximate postal ZIP codes, and a ZIP that crosses county lines returns every county it touches.
- We list what the record names, which is often a property owner rather than the company that runs the data center.
