- Data centers can use large volumes of water directly for cooling — it depends on the facility's cooling system — and the electricity that powers them often needs cooling water too, back at the power plant. Either draw can pull from the same aquifer your well or local utility relies on.
Real findings from the Data Center Alley sample, each with its source named on the report. Every chip above is live: switch a layer on or off and the map answers.

- NAR’s 2026 Data Center Impact Report (September 9) surveyed agents working where data centers operate or are being built: 25% saw nearby home values rise, 22% saw them fall. NAR’s chief economist: “There is no single data center effect.”
- NAR’s research director advised judging each property by its proximity, visibility, and local infrastructure, and said NAR does not yet track water or electricity use near specific facilities. This report covers the proximity part from public records: every mapped facility within 25 miles of the address, with its distance.
- The geology surprise mid-escrow: know what’s under a property before the buyers are already committed and you’re covering extra inspections out of pocket.
- The FEMA and fault flag, early: get flood zone and fault-line records before the buyer goes under contract, not when it’s time to order the Natural Hazard Disclosure.
- The well water question: on a parcel running on well water alone, see what’s being built nearby that could draw on the same source.
- Working more than one property? The five-report pack covers a portfolio at once.

Property owners
You have one parcel and a growing list of questions about what’s under it and around it.
- Which data centers are nearby, and the water and power* they may need.
- The mineral rights read: what your state’s rule says about the minerals under your land, and whether the parcel sits in an area recently flagged for rare earth or critical minerals. Know this before you sell or lease.
- The aquifer your community shares, before the county votes on the next project.
- The offer or lease in your hand, checked against what’s actually recorded on the parcel.
- What’s being permitted or proposed around your neighborhood right now.
- Start free: look up your own address before you decide anything.
* Power lines and grid maps aren’t part of the report yet.
Businesses and researchers
Attorneys, title reps, and mineral rights professionals verify what’s recorded for a living. This gives you the same records assembled in one place, before you start the deeper search.
- A first-pass record of mineral occurrences and federal critical-mineral survey zones, before you order a full mineral rights search.
- The state’s default rule on whether mineral rights travel with the land, plus nearby federal mineral-activity cases.
- The aquifer and any nearby industrial water demand, when hydrology plays into the transaction.
- A PDF your client can hold alongside your own findings.
Here is what this means for you and your client
A buyer is about to write on a property, or a seller is about to list one. Before the contract, you can see what the records already show for that parcel: what is being built nearby, what it draws on, and what has been flagged around it, mapped to an address, a parcel number, a coordinate, or a dropped pin, in about a minute.
- 01Data CentersWhat is being built within 25 miles, and what will it draw on?249 data centers within 25 miles
- 02WaterWhich aquifer is under this parcel, and who else draws on it?Principal aquifer beneath this parcel: Early Mesozoic basin aquifers
- 03What's BelowHas anything been mapped or flagged beneath this parcel?This parcel falls inside 2 federal survey zones that USGS has flagged for battery metals, semiconductor minerals, and infrastructure metals.
- 04The Land AboveWhich flood, fault, fire, or environmental records touch this address?79 EPA-tracked sites within 10 miles (including a Superfund site)
- 05Ownership and RightsDo the mineral rights still travel with the land here?Rights status: unverified — most parcels have never been checked; a title professional can confirm
How it works
One address. Sixty seconds. One report, the whole picture.
Enter the address, drop a pin, type a coordinate, or enter the parcel number.
Any US address, a dropped pin, a coordinate, or a county parcel number (APN): yours, a neighbor’s, or one you’re considering. Basic findings return in about sixty seconds.
Read the scorecard.
It’s a first look, not the full record: nearby data centers, mineral flags, flood and fault zones, enough to see if something’s there. Decide from there whether the complete report is worth pulling.
Get the Complete Report.
One PDF with every layer: minerals, aquifer, water demand, the climate record back to 1990, bedrock, hazards, and the state’s rule on mineral rights. One parcel, one time. Nothing recurring.
Why this exists
The data is public. The map was missing.
The records are spread across more than 40 public sources. The main kinds:
- Mineral surveys
- Aquifer maps
- Climate records
- Flood maps
- Data-center permits
Parcel report
One page for your parcel
- Mineral surveys
- Aquifer maps
- Climate records
- Flood maps
- Data-center permits
GeoLocity puts them on one page for your parcel. Sometimes that page turns up a mineral claim, a shared aquifer, or a data center under construction two miles out. Sometimes it turns up nothing notable, and that’s a finding too.
In August 2026 the administration also announced more than $180 million for mining schools, to train the engineers who will work from those maps. NAR’s chief economist noted that county-level figures “can’t tell us what happens to an individual home next to a facility,” and its research director advised judging each property by its proximity, visibility, and local infrastructure.

Questions
Questions people ask before they run a report.
What does a GeoLocity report cover?
One parcel, five chapters: What’s Below (rare earth and critical minerals, Earth MRI survey zones, geologic formations), Data Centers (the facilities within 25 miles, with operator, capacity, and status), Water (the aquifer beneath the parcel, nearby monitoring wells, and county industrial water use), The Land Above (faults, flood zones, wildfire history, EPA sites, the climate record since 1990), and Ownership and Rights (your state’s rule on mineral rights and what is recorded). Every figure carries the public source it came from.
Is the free scorecard really free?
Yes. No email, no account, no card, one per person. It is a first look at your address: a status line for each check, enough to see whether anything is worth a closer look. The Complete Report for one parcel is $19.99, once. The five-report pack is $39.99: five complete reports on any parcels, good for 12 months.
Can I look up a place without an address?
Yes. Type an address, use your phone’s location, or enter coordinates. Any US parcel works, including one you are only considering.
Does the report tell me whether I own the mineral rights under my land?
Each state is different. At this time GeoLocity does not show who owns the mineral rights under a specific parcel, because every jurisdiction records them differently. What it does is guide you: it lays out what your state’s rules tend to say about mineral rights and whether the parcel sits in an area recently flagged for rare earth or critical minerals. It is not a title search or legal advice; confirm recorded rights with a licensed professional before you act.
Where does the data come from?
Public records: USGS mineral and Earth MRI data, federal flood, fire, and environmental records, the ERA5 climate record from 1990, and a data-center scan built from public filings and news. Each card in the report names its source and date.
How long does a lookup take?
About sixty seconds for a new parcel. The page shows what is being checked while it runs. Parcels that have been looked up before return faster.
Do you sell my address or my information?
No. GeoLocity has no listings and sells no leads. Your address is never for sale.
