AI Data Centers are Now a Concern Among Potential Homebuyers

Dow Jones

Jul 22

1009 ET - More than half--53%--of U.S. residents oppose the construction of an AI data center in their neighborhood, Redfin says. Roughly one-third, or 34%, support it. AI data centers are controversial largely because they reportedly strain electricity and water resources, which can push up energy costs and spark environmental concerns. They can also disrupt communities with noise and large, industrial-looking structures. For some people, AI data centers also represent broader fears about AI: 58% of U.S. residents believe that advances in AI will eliminate jobs and make it harder to afford homes. Real-estate agents say concerns about nearby data centers are becoming increasingly common among homebuyers. Older generations are more likely to oppose data centers in their area.
