What's nearby · How it's changing · Sources you can check

See what's moving in around you.

A free, transparent map of what surrounds the places you care about — data centers, industrial facilities, power plants, pollution, and wildfire smoke — and how it changes over time.

The real facts around a place — every source named, not a black-box risk score. No account needed to browse.

How it works

From your address to the full picture

  1. 01

    Look up your street — or anywhere

    Type an address, ZIP, or city, or let the map find where you are.

  2. 02

    See what's around it

    Switch on data centers, facilities, power plants, air quality, and wildfire smoke.

  3. 03

    Tap anything to learn more

    Every point tells you what it is, its status, and where the data came from.

  4. 04

    Save it and watch it change

    With a free account, we track conditions daily and can email you when a new data center is proposed nearby.

  5. 05

    Share what you find

    Send a link to a neighbor or your group — it opens the map right where you left it.

Arounded is for understanding and spotting patterns over time. In an emergency, always follow your official local alerts first.

Transparency

No black boxes

Every layer names its source, so you never have to take our word for it. We don't sell your data, and we don't track you around the web.

Data centers

Near you, with operator, power demand, and cooling where available — color-coded by status. Refreshed weekly.

ProposedAnnounced, in permitting, or awaiting approval — the stage you can still weigh in on.Under constructionApproved or actively being built.OperatingUp and running today.CancelledWithdrawn or blocked.

Wildfire smoke

Daily satellite smoke plumes, used to build your saved places' "smoke day" history.

Air quality & weather

AQIAir Quality Index — a 0–500 scale where higher means worse air. and PM2.5Fine particle pollution (2.5 microns) — the stuff in smoke and haze that reaches your lungs., plus daily temperatures. Logged daily for your saved places.

EPA facilities

Regulated facilities, pulled on demand for the area you're viewing.

Power plants

Power generation sites, with fuel and capacity where they're tagged.

Air-quality stations

Real-world monitoring stations, alongside the modeled air-quality values.

Good to know

Common questions

Is a data center being built near me?

Search your address and turn on the Data centers layer. You'll see sites near you color-coded by status — operating, under construction, or proposed — with the operator and power use where we have them. Save your place and we'll let you know when a new one shows up.

Where does the data come from?

Public and open sources, and we name every one so you can check it yourself — FracTracker for data centers, NOAA for smoke, Open-Meteo for air and weather, and EPA for facilities. See the methodology for the full list.

How often does it update?

Smoke refreshes daily and the data-center tracker weekly. For your saved places, we log conditions once a day so the history stays consistent. Live values can change fast — for anything urgent, follow your official local alerts.

What’s a "smoke day"?

A day when a NOAA satellite smoke plume passed over your saved place. It's a steady way to spot patterns over time — not a measure of what you actually breathed indoors.

Do I need an account? Is it free?

The map is free and open to everyone — no account needed to explore. Sign in only if you want to save places, see their history, and get alerts. That part's free too.
