This information must be fake. There is no way honest Southerners are less likely to pay their bills than Yankees.

They'll just blame the blacks. All of the South's problems are because of the blacks.

There is a major variable here being missed.

I mean, it's relevant. Blacks are on average of a lower socioeconomic standing than whites in this country. Ignoring that is basically saying "I am trolling. Please respond"

Blacks are part of the problem, but not nearly as much as the education, politics, and entire way of thinking of the Southern States. It's not a coincidence that the Southern States that are less conservative are better than the ones that are die hard conservative states. GA,FL, and now TN are full of transplants from other parts of the country and those states have separated themselves from the dregs of other Southern States. AL, MS, and LA are helpless.

Education may be the biggest factor IMO. There's not many junior and senior classrooms you can walk into these days who could explain what a credit score is and how to keep from blowing it.

Student loans are another huge one too.

While Tennessee has more transplants, from a legislative standpoint, the state has never been more conservative than it is now.

Nashville is full of liberal transplants. This state is still red as a motherfricker.

I am surprised by how good the averages are. Even the lower ranked states have fair average credit ratings.

And it wasn't until just a few years ago Republicans gained control of the Alabama House and Senate for the first time since reconstruction. So libs are equally to blame for Alabama's problems. Not to mention the poorest regions in Alabama always vote blue...

My ex screwed my 760 up. I still want to kill her. Life is much harder as a business owner with a mid six hundred. I'm fixing it, but it's a pain in the rear.

Probably related to poverty and low income levels regardless of color.

If you want to see liberalism at work go to the inner city. Any inner city.

The state with the worst credit scores is Nevada and they are only 9% black. Texas is 49th and they are only 12% black. And if you think those states are so low because they have the most Hispanics, think again. New Mexico has the highest percentage of Hispanic residents and they have the 17th highest credit score. Hawaii has the smallest percentage of white people (19%) and they have the 13th highest credit score. California has the third smallest percentage of white people (New Mexico is second) and they are 30th.

It's very, very, very clear what the issue is here. It's not race. It's culture.

In the Southern states, the blacks control the public education system. They are the majority on the school boards, they are the majority in administration, they are the majority of the teachers, and they are the majority of the students.

Black public school education in the south is supervised, administered, and operated by blacks, for blacks. The only white contribution is the money. We provide that.

So, why is it such a failure ?
