Affordability Index

NOVA Idaho’s Affordability Index tracks how legislators voted on policies that directly affect Idahoans’ ability to make ends meet. Of the more than 800 bills introduced this session, only 24 addressed affordability, and not all in ways that improve it. NOVA Idaho assessed legislators’ votes in the following areas that drive affordability-

  • Across the Board Budget Cuts

  • Healthcare

  • Education

  • Housing

  • Childcare

  • Food Access

Note - The higher the score, the more consistently a legislator supported policies that improve affordability.

  • 15 of 105 legislators scored 80% or higher

  • 61 of 105 legislators scored 50% or lower
