Why this score?
Four weighted factors drive the DeSoto County risk score. Methodology is fully documented — each input is public data or a reasoned proxy.
Moderate in-county generation. Viable for mid-sized facilities, extension required for hyperscale.
South Florida WMD — Everglades restoration, high demand, significant water stress.
Very rural. Abundant large parcels available for industrial conversion.
No direct adjacency, but known projects within the broader region.
