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.
The credit scoring company has been tracking the average consumer FICO score since October 2005, releasing updated averages every 6 months. As far as FICO scores go, 692 is on the high end of average, as the scale ranges from 300 to 850.
