In order to identify the cities with the highest and lowest credit scores, WalletHub’s analysts compared the average credit scores of residents in each of 2,534 U.S. “cities” as of October 2016, based on TransUnion data. A rank of “1” corresponds with the ”city” with the highest credit score. Note that “city” refers to city proper and excludes surrounding metro areas.
