How can I determine customer data location?

We are in the process of updating the actual data location in the Tenant Admin Center. When this change is complete you will be able to see the actual data location, for committed workloads, by navigating to Admin|Settings|Org Settings|Organization Profile|Data Location. Until that change is visible, you can view the Exchange Online data location information in order to understand where your in scope customer data is stored for this service.
