Experian has just released a new study that takes a look at debt and credit for senior citizens (considered as people 60 years or older for this analysis) in the United States.

Our findings:

• Across the U.S., senior citizens have an average FICO® Score of 745 – 44 points higher than the national average of 701, according to Experian data from the fourth quarter of 2018.
• Senior citizens (considered as people 60 years or older for this analysis) also carry an average of $70,633 in total debt, though seniors in some states carried almost double that amount.
• Senior citizens in the District of Columbia have the highest average total debt – at $132,366.
• Senior citizens in New Jersey rank 16^th for highest debt – at $76,020.
