FactVote averages the four quarterly, not-seasonally-adjusted FHFA all-transactions HPI observations for each year. It compares that series with BEA annual per-capita personal income distributed by FRED, then rebases both to 100 in 2016. This is a pressure indicator, not a home-price-to-income ratio and not a measure of monthly mortgage affordability. Both series are nominal; neither is adjusted for inflation. Per-capita personal income includes earnings, property income, and transfers and is not median household income. 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.

All 50 states are listed, including states without a comparable observation. Ranks use stored source precision; displayed values may round to the same number.
Median monthly gross rent for renter-occupied housing units paying cash rent, including contract rent plus estimated average utility and fuel costs paid by the renter.
This source snapshot keeps its own definition and period. A rank shown elsewhere applies only to that comparison’s measure and period.
Method and limitations
U.S. Census Bureau QuickFacts, sourced from the American Community Survey 2020–2024 five-year estimate and expressed in 2024 dollars.
This is a multi-year statewide estimate, not a current asking-rent measure.
The median obscures differences by location, unit size, housing quality, and renter circumstances.
Compare moderate-or-severe and severe housing cost burdens for three distinct housing groups.

FactVote reviewed summary
Would change asylum processing, custody and placement protections for noncitizen children.
2026-07-22: Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. No enactment is recorded in this snapshot.
Why this record is included
Foreign-born residents include naturalized citizens and lawfully and unlawfully present noncitizens. A provision about a particular immigration status concerns only a subset of that population; it does not change a person’s birthplace. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.
Retained Oregon evidence context: Residents who are foreign-born. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

Attorney General Rayfield Secures $7 Million Settlement from Property Management Company Over Rent-Fixing Scheme
Jun 18, 2026 · Reported action
Attorney General Dan Rayfield · Reached proposed settlement
FactVote reviewed summary
Reached a proposed $7 million LivCor settlement restricting use of competitively sensitive data to align rents. The release states that court approval was still required.
Reported 2026-06-18. This records the dated action; litigation and proposed settlements do not establish final liability or current enforceability.
Why this record is included
Gross rent includes contract rent and tenant-paid utilities. Rental protections, assistance, and housing supply concern components of rental-market conditions; they do not set Oregon’s median rent. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the fact’s measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.
Retained Oregon evidence context: Median gross rent. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.
said Attorney General Rayfield. “Landlords don’t get to outsource collusion to an algorithm and call it business as usual.” Under today’s settlement, subject to court approval, LivCor also agrees to not use software offered by any company that uses competitively sensitive information to align rent prices and agrees to cooperate in the ongoing prosecution of RealPage and other defendant landlords. This is the second settlement reached by the states in this litigation; in November 2025, Attorney General Rayfield announced a $7 million settlement with Greystar, another defendant. RealPage uses algorithmic models to recommend price increases to subscribers. As alleged the January 2025 complaint, LivCor and other landlords, including five co-defendants, shared competitively sensitive data to generate pricing recommendations using RealPage’s algorithms. LivCor and other landlords discussed competitively sensitive topics — including pricing strategies, rents, and selected parameters for RealPage’s software — directly with each other. As alleged the January 2025 complaint landlords also understood that their nonpublic data would be used to recommend prices not just for their own units, but also for competitors who use the programs, and agreed to provide this information because they understood they would benefit from the information of their rivals. In other words, RealPage knew what competing landlords were charging and could increase rental profits by using that information to recommend landlords set or raise their prices uniformly, thereby eliminating competition, and leaving renters no choice but to pay artificially high prices. In Oregon LivCor managed approximately 1,649 multifamily rental properties that used RealPage’s pricing software. Today’s settlement, subject to court approval, requires LivCor to pay $7 million to

For generations, homeownership has been the foundation of the American Dream and one of the best ways families build financial security. Today, that dream is slipping further out of reach for too many Oregonians. Home prices continue to rise, families are struggling to enter the market to buy their first home and Governor Kotek has failed to deliver on her promise of building 36,000 homes per year. Many of the policies she promoted have made Oregon’s housing shortage worse. While government cannot and should not control every market force, it can stop making housing more expensive and difficult to build.

Only current Oregon 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 Oregon 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.
Oregon 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 Oregon, retain their reviewed evidence, and do not establish that a policy caused a measured change.
