South Carolina · 2025: +105.5% · Rank #13 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

$1,180/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.

Hakim believes that a strong state begins with strong education. Instead of cutting funding, South Carolina must invest deeply in its schools and students. He proposes the creation of “South Carolina College Investment Grants” for students pursuing critical careers; such as nursing, medicine, engineering, education, social work, and therapy. Rather than burdening graduates with debilitating student loans, this plan allows them to repay the state through service. Every graduate who accepts a grant would commit to living and working in South Carolina for 10–20 years; as taxpayers, homeowners, consumers, and parents. Their contributions to the state’s economy and communities would serve as repayment for their education. This initiative would ensure that the most educated and capable workforce in the world lives right here in South Carolina, making its citizens highly sought after in every field imaginable.

To keep housing affordable and communities strong, Hakim would limit property ownership to twelve residential properties per corporation or individual, excluding apartment complexes.This policy ensures that homes remain in the hands of residents, not investors, preventing mass buyouts that drive up housing costs and displace families. By curbing speculative ownership, South Carolina can stabilize neighborhoods, lower rents, and make homeownership attainable again for working people across the state.

How statements are selected

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

Creates a state housing tax credit tied to the federal low-income housing credit for qualifying restricted-rent projects. Applicants must explain tenant benefits or why the credit is needed for the project.

The official record’s latest entry is Act No. 137 (2020-05-19). This records enactment, not present 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 South Carolina’s median rent. This connection does not establish causation. An action after the measurement period cannot explain an earlier observed value.

Retained South Carolina evidence context: Median gross rent. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

(4) 'Project' means a housing project that has restricted rents that do not exceed thirty percent of income for at least forty percent of its units occupied by persons or families having incomes of sixty percent or less of the median income, or at least twenty percent of the units occupied by persons or families having incomes of fifty percent or less of the median income. (5) 'Qualified project' means a qualified low-income building as that term is defined in Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that is located in South Carolina and receives approval for tax credits from the South Carolina Housing and Finance Development Authority provided pursuant to this section. […] (B)(1) A state tax credit pursuant to this section may be claimed against income taxes imposed by Section 12-6-510 or 12-6-530, bank taxes imposed pursuant to Chapter 11, Title 12, corporate license fees imposed pursuant to Chapter 20, Title 12, and insurance premium and retaliatory taxes imposed pursuant to Chapter 7, Title 38, to be termed the South Carolina housing tax credit, and is allowed with respect to each qualified project placed in service after January 1, 2020, and before December 31, 2030, in an amount equal to the federal housing tax credit allowed with respect to such qualified project. In computing a tax payable by a taxpayer pursuant to Section 38-7-90, the credit allowed pursuant to this section must be treated as a premium tax paid pursuant to Section 38-7-20. […] (2) The authority may not issue an eligibility statement until the taxpayer provides a report to the authority detailing how the state credit authorized by this section will benefit the tenants of the project, once placed in service including, but not limited to, reduced rent, or why the state credit authorized by this section is necessary to undertake the project.

FactVote reviewed summary

Authorizes Santee Cooper to jointly own, finance, construct, operate, and maintain natural-gas generation facilities with Dominion Energy near the former Canadys station in Colleton County. This concerns a potential nonnuclear component of in-state generation; authorization does not establish an operating plant or measured output.

The official record’s latest entry is Act No. 41 (2025-05-19). This records enactment, not present enforceability.

Why this record is included

Nuclear share is the portion of South Carolina in-state electricity generation supplied by nuclear power in the Office of Regulatory Staff assessment. Nuclear plants and alternative generating resources concern this mix; in-state generation differs from electricity consumed in the state. Procurement targets and authorizations are distinct from operating plants or measured output. This connection does not establish causation. An action after the measurement period cannot explain an earlier observed value.

Retained South Carolina evidence context: Nuclear share of in-state electricity generation. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

SECTION 7. Article 1, Chapter 31, Title 58 of the S.C. Code is amended by adding: Section 58-31-205. (A) The Public Service Authority shall have the power to jointly own, as tenants-in-common or through a limited liability company, with Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc., one or more natural gas-fired generation facilities, and related transmission facilities, to be constructed on a site at or near Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc.'s former Canadys coal-fired generation station in Colleton County, the power to plan, finance, acquire, own, operate, and maintain an interest in such plants and facilities necessary or incidental to the generation and transmission of electric power and the power to make plans and enter into such contracts as are necessary or convenient for the planning, financing, acquisition, construction, ownership, operation, and maintenance of such plants and facilities. However, the Public Service Authority shall own a percentage of such plants and facilities equal to the percentage of the money furnished or the value of property supplied by the Public Service Authority for the acquisition and construction of the plants and facilities. The Public Service Authority shall also own and control a like percentage of the electrical output thereof. (B) The Public Service Authority shall be severally liable in proportion to its ownership share of such plants and facilities acquired pursuant to this section for the acts, omissions, or obligations performed, omitted, or incurred by the operator or other owners of the plants and facilities while acting as the designated agent of the Public Service Authority for the purposes of constructing, operating, or maintaining the plants and facilities, or any of them. However, the Public Service Authority shall not be otherwise liable, jointly or severally, for the acts, omissions, or obligations of other owners of the plants and facilities, nor shall any money or property of the Public Service Authority be credited or otherwise applied to the account of the operator or other owners of the plants and facilities, or be charged with any debt, lien, or mortgage as a result of any debt or obligation of the operator or other owners of the plants and facilities.

FactVote reviewed summary

Creates a state housing tax credit tied to the federal low-income housing credit for qualifying restricted-rent projects. Applicants must explain tenant benefits or why the credit is needed for the project.

The official record’s latest entry is Act No. 137 (2020-05-19). This records enactment, not present 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 South Carolina’s median rent. This connection does not establish causation. An action after the measurement period cannot explain an earlier observed value.

Retained South Carolina evidence context: Median gross rent. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

(4) 'Project' means a housing project that has restricted rents that do not exceed thirty percent of income for at least forty percent of its units occupied by persons or families having incomes of sixty percent or less of the median income, or at least twenty percent of the units occupied by persons or families having incomes of fifty percent or less of the median income. (5) 'Qualified project' means a qualified low-income building as that term is defined in Section 42 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, that is located in South Carolina and receives approval for tax credits from the South Carolina Housing and Finance Development Authority provided pursuant to this section. […] (B)(1) A state tax credit pursuant to this section may be claimed against income taxes imposed by Section 12-6-510 or 12-6-530, bank taxes imposed pursuant to Chapter 11, Title 12, corporate license fees imposed pursuant to Chapter 20, Title 12, and insurance premium and retaliatory taxes imposed pursuant to Chapter 7, Title 38, to be termed the South Carolina housing tax credit, and is allowed with respect to each qualified project placed in service after January 1, 2020, and before December 31, 2030, in an amount equal to the federal housing tax credit allowed with respect to such qualified project. In computing a tax payable by a taxpayer pursuant to Section 38-7-90, the credit allowed pursuant to this section must be treated as a premium tax paid pursuant to Section 38-7-20. […] (2) The authority may not issue an eligibility statement until the taxpayer provides a report to the authority detailing how the state credit authorized by this section will benefit the tenants of the project, once placed in service including, but not limited to, reduced rent, or why the state credit authorized by this section is necessary to undertake the project.

FactVote reviewed summary

Authorizes Santee Cooper to jointly own, finance, construct, operate, and maintain natural-gas generation facilities with Dominion Energy near the former Canadys station in Colleton County. This concerns a potential nonnuclear component of in-state generation; authorization does not establish an operating plant or measured output.

The official record’s latest entry is Act No. 41 (2025-05-19). This records enactment, not present enforceability.

Why this record is included

Nuclear share is the portion of South Carolina in-state electricity generation supplied by nuclear power in the Office of Regulatory Staff assessment. Nuclear plants and alternative generating resources concern this mix; in-state generation differs from electricity consumed in the state. Procurement targets and authorizations are distinct from operating plants or measured output. This connection does not establish causation. An action after the measurement period cannot explain an earlier observed value.

Retained South Carolina evidence context: Nuclear share of in-state electricity generation. This record’s connection to the topic does not establish an effect on the measured result.

SECTION 7. Article 1, Chapter 31, Title 58 of the S.C. Code is amended by adding: Section 58-31-205. (A) The Public Service Authority shall have the power to jointly own, as tenants-in-common or through a limited liability company, with Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc., one or more natural gas-fired generation facilities, and related transmission facilities, to be constructed on a site at or near Dominion Energy South Carolina, Inc.'s former Canadys coal-fired generation station in Colleton County, the power to plan, finance, acquire, own, operate, and maintain an interest in such plants and facilities necessary or incidental to the generation and transmission of electric power and the power to make plans and enter into such contracts as are necessary or convenient for the planning, financing, acquisition, construction, ownership, operation, and maintenance of such plants and facilities. However, the Public Service Authority shall own a percentage of such plants and facilities equal to the percentage of the money furnished or the value of property supplied by the Public Service Authority for the acquisition and construction of the plants and facilities. The Public Service Authority shall also own and control a like percentage of the electrical output thereof. (B) The Public Service Authority shall be severally liable in proportion to its ownership share of such plants and facilities acquired pursuant to this section for the acts, omissions, or obligations performed, omitted, or incurred by the operator or other owners of the plants and facilities while acting as the designated agent of the Public Service Authority for the purposes of constructing, operating, or maintaining the plants and facilities, or any of them. However, the Public Service Authority shall not be otherwise liable, jointly or severally, for the acts, omissions, or obligations of other owners of the plants and facilities, nor shall any money or property of the Public Service Authority be credited or otherwise applied to the account of the operator or other owners of the plants and facilities, or be charged with any debt, lien, or mortgage as a result of any debt or obligation of the operator or other owners of the plants and facilities.

What sponsorship and proposal counts tell us

Only current South Carolina 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 South Carolina statistic. Collection reviewed Oct 6, 2026.
