Compare Indiana’s price levels, category costs, and changes in its regional price deflator.
BLS does not publish a statewide Indiana CPI or a complete 50-state CPI cohort. The statewide comparisons here use BEA regional price parities and its implicit regional price deflator. They are explicitly labeled and are not CPI.

Indiana · 2024: 93.3 · Rank #33 of 50, highest first · U.S. benchmark: 100
BEA regional price parity, relative to the overall national price level. The U.S. all-items index equals 100 each year. Measures prices across places within the same year, rather than annual inflation. For all items, 103 means about 3% above the national level. Category benchmarks can differ from 100; compare Indiana with the published U.S. category value shown. Annual observations use December 31; monthly observations use the first of the month. Lines connect consecutive readings and do not supply values between them. Missing observations break the lines.
The timeline combines the corresponding national fact’s reviewed event catalog, labeled National context, with individually reviewed state milestones. State events use primary sources and distinguish signing, effective and filing dates. Each milestone keeps its source-check date, geographical limits and evidence limits. This curated selection is not a complete history.
Date ranges affect events and actions. Action type, status and official-name search affect government records only. Events remain separate from action counts. An event after the latest observation extends context without creating a new reading.

Gov. Mike Braun · Issued
FactVote reviewed summary
Executive Order 26-25 keeps both Indiana state gasoline taxes suspended through October 5, 2026.
The September 3, 2026 order continues both gasoline-tax suspensions through October 5, 2026.
Why this record is included
Executive Order 26-25 continued Indiana's gasoline-tax holiday through October 5, 2026. The Department of Revenue states that it is not collecting the gasoline use tax from April 8 through October 5 or the gasoline excise tax accrued from May 6 through October 5. That directly changes Indiana tax components of pump prices, but it does not set non-tax costs or explain EIA's 15-state regional average.
Retained Indiana evidence context: Midwest regular gasoline price. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.
Indiana Revenue says the September 3 order extends the gasoline use-tax and gasoline excise-tax suspensions through October 5, 2026.

This emergency shall continue through October 5, 2026
Indiana Revenue published scheduled gasoline-tax rates totaling 60.9 cents per gallon, while current executive orders suspend collection of both taxes.
The published rates would ordinarily total 60.9 cents per gallon, but collection is suspended through October 5, 2026.
Why this record is included
Indiana Revenue's notices list a 37-cent-per-gallon gasoline tax for July 2026 through June 2027 and a 23.9-cent gasoline use tax for September 2026, totaling 60.9 cents per gallon in scheduled state rates. Both are direct pump-price components under ordinary collection, but the Governor's tax holiday suspends their collection through October 5, 2026. They do not govern EIA's other 14 Midwest states or non-tax price components.
Retained Indiana evidence context: Midwest regular gasoline price. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.
Revenue's official notices list the gasoline tax at $0.37 per gallon and the September 2026 gasoline use tax at $0.239 per gallon; Revenue's suspension notice says neither is currently collected.

Historical executive officials require evidence tied to the action date and are excluded from incumbent proposals. Inclusion follows an explicit topic review, a related state fact, or the action’s title and supporting evidence. Explicit topic reviews take priority; repeated actions use the most recent explicit review for this topic. Duplicate actions attached to several facts appear once. This topic match is not a new finding that an action caused a result, and the reviewed collection is selective. Collection reviewed Oct 5, 2026.

Frank is in Congress to lower the price of healthcare and to make prescription drug prices more affordable, so families can obtain the lifesaving medicine they need. That’s why Frank fought to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, which allows Medicare to directly negotiate prescription drug prices, limits out-of-pocket costs for insulin at $35 per month, and for the first time ever, caps Medicare Part D out-of-pocket drug costs at $2,000 — a proud achievement of Frank’s.

With inflation straining household budgets, we need immediate relief for working- and middle-class Americans. Congressman Carson supports extending tax cuts that put money back into the pockets of families, small business owners, and entrepreneurs. Additionally, we must reduce the financial burden of healthcare, housing, and education to ensure every American has a fair shot at economic stability. By making smart investments in our communities, we can create a more equitable economy where hard work is rewarded.

Too many Indianapolis residents face rising rents, limited options, and visible homelessness. Patrick will fight to expand housing supply, convert vacant properties into productive use, and support practical pathways off the street through partnerships and federal resources.

This section matches specific inflation, consumer prices and the cost of living terms in retained, attributed source text from published Indiana candidate profiles. A profile heading or biography alone does not qualify. The Florida geography is fixed; saved state preferences cannot change these results. A mention can concern a community or group rather than Florida’s statewide measure.
Matching is automatic and does not establish a candidate’s stance, the accuracy of a claim, or an effect on the measured result. Results are grouped by recorded race, then by candidate name. Within each candidate, the matching issue mentions appear first. Only candidates with matching retained statements are shown; this is not a complete race roster. Repeated identical text for the same candidate is shown once. Coverage follows the existing state profiles and is not a complete record of all candidates or everything they have said. Review dates are not statement dates.

County option gasoline tax.
Jan 8, 2026 · Did not pass
Rep. Ben Smaltz · Sponsored
FactVote reviewed summary
HB 1382 would have authorized an Indiana county to impose and collect a county option gasoline tax.
HB 1382 was referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means on January 8, 2026, and became inactive when the 2026 session ended.
Why this record is included
HB 1382 would have allowed an Indiana county to impose a county option gasoline tax and established collection and distribution procedures. In an adopting county, that tax could have added a local component to pump prices. The bill did not pass, created no statewide tax, and would not have governed the full 15-state EIA regional average.
Retained Indiana evidence context: Midwest regular gasoline price. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.
The official bill digest says HB 1382 allows a county to adopt an ordinance imposing a county option gasoline tax and bars concurrent use of specified county wheel and vehicle excise taxes.

Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources.
Why this record is included
The federal measure would rescind specified energy-efficiency standards for manufactured housing. Its link is limited to construction and tenant utility costs in manufactured rental units; it does not set rents or establish a measured price effect. The fact measures cash rent plus tenant-paid utilities in occupied rental housing. No effect on the statewide median is established.
Retained Indiana evidence context: Median gross rent. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.
The federal measure would rescind specified energy-efficiency standards for manufactured housing. Its link is limited to construction and tenant utility costs in manufactured rental units; it does not set rents or establish a measured price effect.
Only current Indiana officeholders retained in the reviewed collection qualify. Bills require a recorded primary sponsorship; cosponsors and signing officials are excluded from sponsorship counts. An official introducer recorded as acting by request is labeled “Introduced by request”; that procedural role does not establish personal policy endorsement. Governor and agency records qualify when recorded as proposed. A separately verified governor transmittal can also establish an original proposal whose latest status reflects its later outcome. Signing an enacted law alone does not establish a proposal. A record appearing under several facts is counted once per officeholder. A bill with multiple primary sponsors appears under each recorded sponsor.
Enacted bills, adopted resolutions and unsuccessful measures remain visible as proposal history. Passing one chamber is not enactment. These counts do not measure effectiveness or prove that an action changed a Indiana statistic. Collection reviewed Oct 5, 2026.
Sources & methods
Every section retains its primary sources, units, reporting periods and comparison limits. Maps, graphs and tables use the same observation and cohort. All 50 states are listed; D.C. and territories are excluded. Missing and suppressed values remain unavailable and never become zero.
#1 is the highest measured value. Equal source values share a rank and leave gaps (1, 2, 2, 4). Ranks use source precision and are descriptive, not a score of the state. Survey uncertainty and reporting coverage can limit comparisons. Published U.S. benchmarks are used where available; a state average is not substituted.
Indiana snapshots and fiscal sources keep their own dates and accounting scope. National events and federal distribution explainers describe national context. Actions and statements are filtered to Indiana, retain their reviewed evidence, and do not establish that a policy caused a measured change.
