Power

Power86sourced

Power reads 86 of 100, sourced evidence. Power measures grid capacity, interconnection-queue depth, generation mix, retail price and substation density. Interconnection-queue depth is an estimated roll-up (EST); queue vintage PJM 2026-04-28, CAISO 2025-02-12.

Politics

Regulatory68sourced

Regulatory reads 68 of 100, sourced evidence. Regulatory measures air-quality designation under the Clean Air Act and commercial permitting activity. Regulatory is evidenced by air-quality designation and permitting activity; a county absent from EPA's nonattainment list reads as attainment.

Community30sourced

Community reads 30 of 100, sourced evidence. Community measures enacted moratoria, pending legislation and farmland share as signals of local consent.

Incentives100estimated

Incentives reads 100 of 100, estimated evidence. Incentives measures state program baselines and disclosed awards for data-center and industrial projects.

Resources

Water63sourced

Water reads 63 of 100, sourced evidence. Water measures drinking-water system health, basin stress, streamflow and groundwater conditions.

Real estate / site59sourced

Real estate / site reads 59 of 100, sourced evidence. Real estate / site measures developable land share, convertible sites, substation hosting and permit velocity.

Environmental58sourced

Environmental reads 58 of 100, sourced evidence. Environmental measures FEMA hazard risk across riverine, coastal, wind, wildfire and related perils.

Labor71sourced

Labor reads 71 of 100, sourced evidence. Labor measures electrician depth, wages, unemployment and prevailing-wage floors in the county labor market.

Connectivity

Connectivity is not yet activated as a brief section; the Network tier reading is shown.

Network92sourced

Network reads 92 of 100, sourced evidence. Network measures broadband availability, fiber and middle-mile programs, and exchange-point proximity.

Infrastructure Map

Faraday's Read

Logan County, Ohio currently carries a Mixed posture tier with a composite score of 45, though the underlying dimensional detail behind that score is not broken out in the data. The attribute-evidence picture is comparatively fuller, with a Good quality band (75.84) and Medium completeness (62.83), suggesting the county has a reasonably solid base of sourced information across environmental, water, power, network, labor, and regulatory categories, most rated at the sourced confidence level. Notably thin, by contrast, is the incentives category, which rests on a single estimated-confidence attribute, so any read on incentive competitiveness should be treated as tentative. There is no recorded data-center development density, no active facilities, and no forecast confidence beyond a stable direction with an unscored confidence label, meaning the near-term trajectory is essentially unverified. Overall, Logan County presents as a jurisdiction with decent foundational evidence in core infrastructure areas but a thin, largely unconfirmed record on incentives, development track record, and forward momentum.
