Examining Credit Insecurity in the United States

On April 16, FinRegLab’s Kelly Thompson Cochran will speak at a virtual event hosted by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, addressing the pressing issue of #CreditInsecurity impacting communities across the U.S.

Key findings from the report “Credit Insecurity in the United States: 2018–2023” include:

More than one in 10 people live in counties where large shares of consumers rely on high-cost credit and struggle to manage debt.
Of the 16.6 million people who lived in credit-insecure counties in 2022, 5.8 million lived in rural areas.
Credit security improved during the five-year period ending in 2023.
