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

$946/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.

Affordable living is the foundation of a stable and productive society. If day-to-day requirements like housing, healthcare, food, and education are unaffordable, working families struggle and the American dream shrinks. That dream is already fading when 50 percent of Americans believe there is little chance young people will have better lives than their parents and 32 percent of regular people do not have any emergency savings. Affordability means people working full-time can live with dignity. Good policies like fair wages, targeted subsidies, and tax credits make a difference. The goal is to restructure our economic system so it delivers for regular people, too, not just Big Money that has engineered the status quo.

How statements are selected

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

SB 204 revises housing-infrastructure financing by adding land acquisition to the public-infrastructure definition and allowing the Housing Development Authority to use up to 1% of loan principal for administering the loan. Loan principal remains capped at half the total cost of the housing infrastructure project. The program supports single-family and multifamily housing. This connection concerns infrastructure for participating rental projects; the cap is not based on the entire housing development cost and does not set tenant rents. No completed units, tenant savings or statewide rent effect are established.

Approved by Gov. Larry Rhoden on 2026-03-24. Signing, effective dates, implementation and current enforceability are distinct.

Why this record is included

Median gross rent includes contract rent and tenant-paid utilities and fuel. Infrastructure financing for housing concerns the development costs and potential supply of participating rental housing, a subset of housing projects. Owner-occupied projects are outside this fact, and the law neither sets tenants’ rent nor establishes completed rental units or a change in the statewide median. This relationship does not establish causation. Actions after the measurement period cannot explain its earlier value.

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

Section 1. That § 11-15-1 be AMENDED: 11-15-1. Terms used in this chapter mean: (1) "Authority," the South Dakota Housing Development Authority; (2) "Housing infrastructure," the installation, replacement, upgrade, or improvement of public infrastructure for the support of a single-family or multi-family housing project; and (3) "Public infrastructure," a right of way, water distribution system, sanitary sewer system, storm sewer system, lift station, street, road, bridge, curb, gutter, sidewalk, traffic signal, or streetlight, which is or will be located in the state and is or will be owned, maintained, or provided by a political subdivision of this state or federally recognized Indian tribe; or excavation, necessary site work, compaction, or acquisition of land for support of a single family or multi-family housing project. Section 2. That § 11-15-4 be AMENDED: 11-15-4. The authority may make loans from the South Dakota housing infrastructure fund, created in § 11-15-2, for housing infrastructure projects. The principal amount of a loan may not exceed one-half of the total cost of the housing infrastructure project. The authority may use up to one percent of the principal amount of a loan to offset the authority's expenses in administering the loan.

What sponsorship and proposal counts tell us

Only current South Dakota 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 Dakota statistic. Collection reviewed Sep 16, 2026.
