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.
Credit scores can be as low as 300 and as high as 850. There are five factors that determine where your number falls in that range: 1  35% of your score is based on your payment history. 2  30% is based on current debts. 3  15% is determined by credit history. 4  10% is allotted to new credit applications. 5  10% is about types of current credit.
