"...the average credit score didn’t go up for the first time in over a decade, hampered by economic factors like high inflation. Some cities residents’ have higher credit scores than others, though. In this report, WalletHub compared the median credit scores of residents in 2,568 U.S. cities to give credit where credit is literally and figuratively due."
