And if the wealthy need to “resist” a data center, they have the power to do so quietly, successfully, and with little effort. Poor neighborhoods can make all the noise they want, to little or no effect.
Wouldn’t the total number affect accuracy of the rate? I think one chart in the article showed something like 700 proposals for low income areas and 100-200 proposals for high income areas. As N approaches zero, the rate of resistance or cancellation is a lot more sensitive to smaller numbers of events.

Which is why the comparison is based on rate …
