Claim-by-claim breakdown
- Accurate (95% confidence): The Markley Group data center in Lowell, Massachusetts is located in or next to a residential neighborhood. Yale Law School and Boston Globe coverage describe the Markley facility as located in a residential neighborhood in Lowell; city documents and Markley’s site also identify the Lowell data center.…

Court filings and reporting say Markley’s acquisitions displaced long-time residents and that the neighborhood has been heavily converted around the site, but the precise count of remaining privately owned homes is not clearly documented…
