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.
Those who fall into the 660 to 699 credit score range have good credit and, therefore, will receive terms that are even more favorable. While lenders still see some risk in these individuals, as the delinquency rate for people in this range is about 15 percent, it is much better than having a credit score below 660.
