CFED Assets & Opportunity Scorecard
Consumers with Subprime Credit
Definition
Percentage of consumers with a TransUnion TransRisk Score at or below 700 (on a scale of 150-934), Quarter 3, 2012.
Description
Credit is an important asset, and good credit opens the door to safe and affordable capital, which helps consumers weather emergencies, build assets and climb the economic ladder. Without good credit, consumers pay higher interest rates than other consumers on everything from credit cards to car loans to mortgages. Credit scores also play a major role in setting home and auto insurance premiums and are increasingly checked as part of applications for jobs and rental housing.
