Texas and other red states have lower inflation rates than blue states, according to data from The White House.

Republican-leaning states have lower rates of inflation than Democratic-leaning states, with Texas among the lowest in America, according to a report from the President’s Council of Economic Advisers.

The nation’s GDP grew a “blistering” 4.3% in the third quarter, according to CBS News – the “strongest growth in two years.” Though during this time, inflation also grew at a higher rate.

Blue states averaged 3% inflation, while red states averaged 2.5% inflation as of November 2025, according to the report. Texas had 1.7% inflation overall – tied only with Oklahoma, Louisiana, and Arkansas.

“Everybody in the whole cabinet is working on trying to get housing to be more affordable,” White House Economic Director Kevin Hassett said to Fox News Sunday, while discussing the numbers.

Democrat-leaning states had 3.6% housing inflation, 2.7% food and beverage inflation, 5.2% energy inflation, and 2.5% transportation inflation, according to the report. In these states’ metro areas, inflation averaged 3%.

Meanwhile, Republican-leaning states had 3.4% housing inflation, 2.5% food and beverage inflation, 3.5% energy inflation, and 0.7% transportation inflation. In these states’ metro areas, inflation averaged just 1.9%.

In particular, the Dallas metroplex had just 1.1% inflation – the lowest in the country, aside from Detroit. More specifically, Dallas had 0.8% housing inflation, 1.4% food and beverage inflation, 2% energy inflation, and 0.8% transportation inflation. 

Dallas is quickly becoming a major American financial hub, as the Texas Stock Exchange plans to open “Y’all Street” in 2026, as The Dallas Express reported. In August, Republican Gov. Greg Abbott rang a closing bell at AT&T Stadium to welcome the New York Stock Exchange-Texas to the city.

September data showed Texas led the rest of the nation in 12-month job growth, as The Dallas Express also reported. 

“Texas is where free enterprise flourishes and jobs grow,” Abbott said at the time. “With our strong and growing workforce, we will continue to expand career and technical training programs for better jobs and bigger paycheck opportunities for more Texans.”
