Data Centers National Survey: Fall 2026

Download the latest Data Centers report here.

Data center decisions are no longer routine infrastructure approvals. They are public debates, and residents are arriving with firm views. In this report, you’ll find a clear, data-backed view of where residents stand, covering support and opposition, the resource concerns driving them, and who residents trust to tell them the truth.

Inside The Report:

  • Nearly half of residents who oppose a data center say nothing would change their mind.
  • 57% want to make the final decision themselves, not just submit a comment.
  • 1 in 4 now say data centers should be discouraged from their region entirely, the most common answer on where they belong.
