Every state placed by its GroundScore DCI, the combined index of soil, power, water, seismic, slope, and climate at the state's primary data-center area, sized by how much mapped ground it has. A state can have great soil and still screen poorly once the infrastructure is folded in, and the reverse. Click the map above to score any point.

The full GroundScore DCI for the markets companies actually evaluate: soil fused with power, water, seismic, slope, and climate into one number. Soil alone would flag some of these markets as unbuildable; the combined index shows where the infrastructure carries the deal and where the ground drags it down. Click any market to drop into it on the map.
The index fuses the soil survey's engineering interpretations, foundations, roads, shallow excavations, dwellings, with national corrosion ratings for buried steel and concrete, then penalizes the hard blockers: flooding, ponding, shallow bedrock, a high water table, hydric (wetland) soils, steep slope, and shrink-swell clay. Two real sites:

We scored the announced and operating US hyperscale campuses on the GroundScore DCI — the industry's own siting record is the benchmark for every number this model produces.
The public view stops at the state line. A screening reads the soil and infrastructure under a candidate campus: every interpretation and property behind the score, the six pillars, the limiting factors, and a written, pedologist-grade site-acquisition assessment. It does not replace a geotechnical investigation, ground truthing is always required, but it tells you which parcels are worth the drilling rig and which to walk away from. Priced per screening for active site-selection campaigns: on a $10M to $100M land decision, screening out one bad parcel early saves weeks and real money.
Per-parcel click-to-score, the six-pillar breakdown, GO / CAUTION / NO-GO verdicts, criteria-based site finding, AOI screening and the written site-acquisition assessment run in the licensed siting app. The aggregated national views on this page stay open.
The ground-condition intelligence the siting tools don't have, built on the National Cooperative Soil Survey (SSURGO) and read by a pedologist: the difference between a parcel that powers on as planned and one that hides an eight-figure foundation, dewatering, or wetland-permitting surprise.
