Anyone want to guess at the common element?
Most are republican controlled "red" states. Coincidence?
I dont think so. Smart, educated, skilled people are leaving New England and CA to head to these areas. These areas will make more $, have more $ to invest locally, improving schools, creating well rounded educated kids. Its a culture of success.
Whereas dem controlled areas rely on govt support and systematically hold people down with high taxes and limited growth.
A: Dirt cheap labor
B: Dirt cheap cost of living
C: Dirt cheap property

Corporations don't move to areas to "improve the quality of life" they move to save money. Its all about success, of the corporation, not you.

Loudon isn't even close to being in the top 10 data centers in the US btw. To give you a scale, Microsoft's datacenter in Washington is 1/4 the size of EVERYTHING in Loudon. And they aren't even the biggest single DC. Also VZ hq has been in VA forever now.
Also, VZ, not a US company technically speaking, I'll let you sort that one out.
