Very High Risk
Counties where all major factors align for data center development. Four of these counties have known proposed, approved, or recently-withdrawn projects.
High Risk
Counties with strong structural attractiveness. These are the next most likely targets for development based on power, water, land, and proximity to existing projects.
Moderate Risk
Most of Ohio falls into this tier. Some factors favor development, others work against it. Risk depends heavily on specific parcels and timing.
Low Risk
Counties with structural factors that slow data center development — typically dense urban cores with limited land, or rural counties with limited power access.
How the score works
Every input is public data or a clearly-labeled proxy. The formula is transparent. Read the full methodology →
The Risk Calculator shows your county's risk score. Your Defense Kit is the next step: a full Preparation Brief written for your specific address and your concerns — your family's health (diesel backup generators, air quality), your well or municipal water, the 24/7 industrial noise and light, your property value, your electricity bill. Plus a public comment letter in your voice, a 2-minute hearing script, the county and state contacts to reach, and what Ohio's 2026 data center laws ([OH-BILL-1], [OH-BILL-2]) mean for your property.
