Average FICO Expected at 715, Debt Risks Rise
x/initial-coin-offering
— Sep 21, 2026
Across multiple reports, the average FICO score is around 715 in 2026 with a slight dip, while credit behavior is driven by higher utilization and persistent delinquencies rather than a collapse in scores. Experts stress that lenders look beyond credit scores for big decisions like housing loans, and that carrying a small balance does not boost scores; regular use and on-time payments with low utilization are what build credit.
