Ok, I've read the article and come back. I have the same question. The only statement that tangents my point is this one:

“The lowest-income, least-educated neighborhoods resist most, even among the low-income, low-degree areas facing proposals,” he adds.

But the variable the article cares most about is what happens to data centers that encounter community resistance, vs ones that don't. Yes they categorize those 2 groups by income level, but there doesn't seem to be a chart saying "data centers are 5 times more likely to be proposed in low income areas compared to high ones."

Care to point me in the right direction?
