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.

Jul 23, 2026 · Official action recorded
Gov. Greg Abbott · Issued
FactVote reviewed summary
Governor Greg Abbott today announced over $114 million in housing tax credits that will help finance the development or rehabilitation of 70 rental properties, offering reduced rents and increased housing options for Texans across the state. These awards, administered by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA), will help developers construct or rehabilitate over 4,400 affordable housing rental units.
The official Governor's Office record documents this action on 2026-07-23.

These awards, administered by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs (TDHCA), will help developers construct or rehabilitate over 4,400 affordable housing rental units.
Such reforms may include— (i) prohibiting rent control or rent stabilization on dwelling units, which may exempt existing dwellings, for which a certificate of occupancy is first issued after the date of designation; (ii) protecting the ability of property owners to promptly address nonpayment, lease violations, fraud, and unauthorized occupancy; (iii) prohibiting mandatory below-market set-asides in new development unless the requirement is fully offset by a density bonus, fee waiver, or equivalent incentive…

Records come from published fact relationships or reviewed topic records with official supporting evidence and verified Texas officeholder attribution. Historical executive officials require evidence tied to the action date and are excluded from incumbent proposals. Inclusion follows an explicit topic review, a related state fact, or the action’s title and supporting evidence. Explicit topic reviews take priority; repeated actions use the most recent explicit review for this topic. Duplicate actions attached to several facts appear once. This topic match is not a new finding that an action caused a result, and the reviewed collection is selective. Collection reviewed Sep 2, 2026.

San Antonio, Austin, Killeen, Waco, and Dallas/Fort Worth are essentially going to combine into one mega city completely eradicating rural living. Our wildlife population is suffering, and hunting for our food has become increasingly difficult since the deer population have moved to the suburbs. Additionally, housing prices in low population areas have skyrocketed without the job market expanding at the same pace. Finally, these $300,000-$700,000 cookie cutter homes are poorly built, leaving your average Texan to deal with safety issues from poor construction, causing tens of thousands of dollars due to preventable repairs.

Texas spends over $500 million a day, seven days a week. Don Huffines will conduct forensic audits across all local governments and state agencies to ensure tax dollars are spent properly and transparently. Under a Huffines administration, no one in government will feel safe from a surprise audit. He will shift the focus of the Comptroller’s office away from auditing businesses and toward aggressively auditing government spending, finding savings, and returning budget surpluses to taxpayers through property tax relief for businesses, renters, and homeowners.

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

Only current Texas 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 Texas statistic. Collection reviewed Sep 2, 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.
Texas 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 Texas, retain their reviewed evidence, and do not establish that a policy caused a measured change.
