What makes up a credit score?
Your credit score is a key factor that impacts your financial opportunities, from loan approvals to interest rates. Whether you're planning a big purchase like a mortgage or simply curious about your credit health, understanding your score is the first step.
A credit score is a numerical value (300–850) designed to predict your creditworthiness. The higher the score, the more likely you are to get approved for loans and favorable terms.
Average Credit Score: The average credit score bottomed out at 686 during the housing crisis, but has been steadily increasing since then. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a further increase, with government stimulus programs and increased household savings contributing to the jump. The average credit score as of April 2024 is 717.
Exceptional Credit: A score above 800 is considered exceptional. While a perfect 850 is rare (only 1.7% of Americans achieved this in 2023), it’s not necessary for excellent benefits.
A credit score of 720 or more is considered excellent, while a score of 620 or lower is considered bad.
