The average credit score in the United States is currently at an all-time high of 695. Though different scoring models exist, which cause this figure to fluctuate by a few points, most fall between 660 to 720. This coincides with what the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau defines as 'prime' - an average score.
A score between 550 and 649 sits below the national average, which is around 660. Credit scores in this range are considered a problem, and they indicate that you had some significant missteps in your financial history as a consumer. With such an iffy credit score, you have plenty of room for improvement.
