Ohio prices and inflation

Compare Ohio’s price levels, category costs, and changes in its regional price deflator.

BLS does not publish a statewide Ohio 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.

Ohio · 2024: 92.8 · Rank #34 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 Ohio 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.

How major events are selected

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.

Source topic or question: Jobs and the Economy

Candidate campaign source

Eric Conroy believes it’s time to prioritize Ohio’s economy again, starting with what benefits the people. As a common-sense conservative, Eric will fight to control inflation by cutting wasteful spending, restoring American energy independence to reduce fuel costs, and removing red tape that suppresses small business growth. He’ll support pro-growth policies that empower small businesses, lower taxes for middle-class families, and invest in workforce development so every Ohioan has a fair chance to succeed. Unlike his opponent, Eric will never vote to put Washington special interests ahead of hardworking families in Cincinnati and across the First District.

Costs are too high—housing, childcare, groceries, and energy—and families are being forced to make impossible choices to get by. I’ll cut taxes for working families, repeal harmful tariffs that raise prices, build more affordable housing, cap childcare costs, support eldercare, and lower energy bills by making big corporations—not Ohio families—pay for data center infrastructure.

How statements are selected

This section matches specific inflation, consumer prices and the cost of living terms in retained, attributed source text from published Ohio 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.

Ohio Legislature · HB 850

Temporarily reduce motor fuel tax rates

May 13, 2026 · In House Finance Committee

Rep. Ty D. Mathews · Sponsored / Rep. Adam C. Bird · Sponsored

FactVote reviewed summary

HB 850 proposes a three-month, 50% reduction in Ohio's motor-fuel tax rates, including a gasoline-rate reduction from 38.5 cents to 19.25 cents per gallon.

The House referred HB 850 to the Finance Committee on May 13, 2026.

Why this record is included

HB 850 would temporarily reduce Ohio's gasoline tax from 38.5 cents to 19.25 cents per gallon and the other-motor-fuel rate from 47 cents to 23.5 cents for three months. Because EIA's retail estimate includes taxes, the proposal directly targets a component of the displayed pump price; it remained in the House Finance Committee and was not in effect for the August observation.

Retained Ohio evidence context: Regular gasoline price. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

The official bill page describes HB 850 as temporarily reducing motor-fuel tax rates and declaring an emergency.

Regards use of E15 blended fuel for state motor vehicles

May 20, 2026 · In House Transportation Committee

Rep. Josh Williams · Sponsored

FactVote reviewed summary

HB 931 proposes changing how compatible Ohio state vehicles use E15 blended gasoline when it is reasonably available and priced.

The House referred HB 931 to the Transportation Committee on May 20, 2026.

Why this record is included

HB 931 concerns use of E15 blended gasoline in Ohio's state motor-vehicle fleet. It addresses state gasoline purchasing and blend demand, not the statewide per-gallon market price measured by EIA, and remained in the House Transportation Committee.

Retained Ohio evidence context: Regular gasoline price. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

The official long title says HB 931 concerns the use of E15 blended fuel for state motor vehicles.

Why this record is included

Ohio Legislature · HB 324

Temporarily authorize tax credit for sale of high-ethanol fuel

Feb 28, 2024 · Referred to Senate Ways and Means

Rep. Riordan T. McClain · Sponsored / Rep. Roy Klopfenstein · Sponsored

FactVote reviewed summary

HB 324 proposed a temporary retailer tax credit for higher-ethanol motor fuel after passing the Ohio House in February 2024.

The Senate referred HB 324 to the Ways and Means Committee on February 28, 2024; the measure did not become law before the General Assembly ended.

Why this record is included

HB 324 would have authorized a five-cent-per-gallon tax credit for retail sales of motor fuel containing 15% to 85% ethanol. The proposal addressed the retail supply and economics of gasoline-ethanol blends rather than setting Ohio's regular-gasoline price, and it did not become law in the 135th General Assembly.

Retained Ohio evidence context: Regular gasoline price. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

The official LSC analysis describes a five-cent-per-gallon credit for retail sales of motor fuel containing between 15% and 85% ethanol.

Ohio Legislature · HB 62

Creates FY 2020-2021 transportation budget

Apr 3, 2019 · Enacted

Rep. Scott Oelslager · Sponsored

FactVote reviewed summary

HB 62 enacted Ohio's current gasoline excise-tax rate of 38.5 cents per gallon as part of the FY 2020–2021 transportation budget.

Governor Mike DeWine signed HB 62 on April 3, 2019; the gasoline-rate increase took effect July 1, 2019.

Why this record is included

The enacted 2019 transportation budget raised Ohio's gasoline excise tax from 28 cents to 38.5 cents per gallon beginning July 1, 2019. That tax remains a direct component of the tax-inclusive EIA retail price, though the law does not explain movements in crude-oil, refining, distribution, or marketing costs.

Retained Ohio evidence context: Regular gasoline price. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

The official Legislative Service Commission analysis says HB 62 increased the gasoline tax by 10.5 cents to 38.5 cents per gallon beginning July 1, 2019.

What sponsorship and proposal counts tell us

Only current Ohio 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 Ohio statistic. Collection reviewed Sep 4, 2026.
