I think the credit score distribution in states might be related to high school graduation rates, and I'm sure it's also related to racial demographics on some level (like most things, lol). The South is kinda famous for its poor quality of education generally, and I'm sure financial education is in step right with it. Non-white populations tend to be larger in those states as well, and the historic discrimination against those groups especially in regards to loan qualification has very likely carried into this century.

But that's just a theory. A credit theory, thanks for watching.

Poverty is higher in the southern states than in the northern states. Poor people don't pay their bills on time. It's pretty simple imo.

Background/set is a bit dark. Sound quality seems to have gotten better.

Those states look to follow the top and bottom for education.

i called it on Mississippi (ok no prizes for guesses as its predictable).

My guess is that it actually has to do with blue states vs red states. red states tend to let businesses do what they want, they tend to allow more things like extreme debt via pay day loans and so on.

800+ FICO can't get past 830 because I paid off my mortgage…as if I'm going to get a new mortgage to get 15 points

1 single CREDIT CARD is the wrong number of credit cards to get the highest FICO SCORE

It's now the end of July 2020 and twenty million people are unemployed as a result of the pandemic. Bet you these credit scores have dropped dramatically.

Has anybody ever really achieved a 300-350 score? that seems like a Unicorn. I've been in the auto finance business for the past 25 yrs, and the lowest i've ever seen was a 367! IMO- a person would need to work harder to get one of these scores vs someone trying to get a 800 .

I don’t understand how everyone is providing a single score. Are you pulling exclusively from Experian?
I accessed Experian and got an overall score of 711.
My Discover card (pulling from FICO for Transunion) provides free monthly scores and I currently have a 735. I assume Discover is pulling a more favorable score using the credit card issuer category of scores.
HOWEVER, I just accessed both Transunion and Equifax at the same time and I’m at 682 and 684.
So I’m at a range between 682 and 711.
I live in NY (Westchester county).

The south’s credit scores are a reflection of the lingering legacy of the terrible institution of slavery followed by Jim Crow and Redlining, as well as many extremely poor areas, such as Appalachia.

Right to work states will always have lower scores when education lags as well as it does in much of the south.

That's why they want to change the system because too many people learned it already. It's shameful honestly

Young people gloating about their scores.. stop it. It's easy to build the score at first compared to common belief the hard part is not getting in debt trouble when hard times come. So keep playing your cards right.
