Oregon · 2025: +74.7% · Rank #37 of 50, highest first · U.S. benchmark: Not available

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.

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.

Median gross rent

$1,525/month2020–2024 estimate

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.

Candidate campaign source

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.

Candidate campaign source

Christine Drazan believes Oregon must make it faster, simpler and less expensive to build homes while maintaining clear safety and environmental standards and protecting Oregon's working farmland. As Governor, Christine will remove unnecessary barriers to housing production, streamline permitting and hold government accountable for delivering results–because increasing the supply of homes is the most effective way to bring down the cost of housing for Oregon families.

We should keep student loan interest rates low and help borrowers better manage student loan debt through easier access to income driven repayment plans. I support making higher education debt free.

Unfortunately, the Trump administration and Congressional Republicans have set their sights on dismantling Social Security. It’s alarming and unacceptable. These are earned benefits that must not be taken away from those who has been paying into the system for their entire working life. I will continue to oppose privatizing Social Security and I will fight ending Medicare as we know it. These efforts would impose thousands of dollars in extra costs on older Americans. I am a vocal advocate for giving Social Security recipients a cost-of-living adjustment so their payments keep up with the rising costs of housing, medication, and other basic needs.

How statements are selected

This section matches specific housing, rent, homeownership and borrowing costs terms in retained, attributed source text from published Oregon 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.

FactVote reviewed summary

Chief sponsorship of HB 3042 (2023R1): Limits terminations and rent increases for three years after tenants' housing is withdrawn from publicly supported housing.

2023-08-04: Chapter 389, (2023 Laws): Effective date July 27, 2023. The session has adjourned. This records legislative disposition, not 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.

What sponsorship and proposal counts tell us

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.
