Statewide count · OH · OH
Not independently verified
Said by Ohio Consumers' Counsel (advocate) in Ohio Consumers' Counsel quick facts.
Checked 12 September 2026
Ohio has more than 200 data centers.
What the evidence supports
Ohio's consumer advocate repeats a commercial directory count. It is useful as a market signal, but the underlying unit can include buildings, suites and campuses and is not a state census. The advocate's own wording also varies: its web fact sheet says more than 200, while its March 2026 PDF fact sheet says about 200. DataCenterData does not adopt 200+ as its own count.
