UNDATED – With Americans having started 2022 off with over $1 trillion in credit-card debt, the personal-finance website WalletHub today released its report on the States with the Highest & Lowest Credit Card Debts, as well as accompanying videos and expert commentary.
We drew upon data from TransUnion, the Federal Reserve, the U.S. Census Bureau and WalletHub’s proprietary credit card payoff calculator to determine the cost and time required to repay the median credit card balance in each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia.
Below, you can find a handful of highlights from the report.
