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 Four of these counties have known proposed, approved, or recently-withdrawn projects.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 Florida 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.
