Where are the cities where consumers have the highest and lowest credit card scores?

A credit score is a representation of your financial habits. It’s designed to predict risk, the likelihood that you’ll become seriously delinquent on your credit obligations in the 24 months after scoring.

How are the consumers in your community doing managing their finances? WalletHub compared the median credit scores of residents in 2,572 U.S. cities to provide this information.
