Texas 2nd In The Nation When It Comes To High Credit Card Debt
ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — The New York state comptroller's office says the nation's four most-populated states carry the highest total amount of credit card debt, with California leading the way followed by Texas, Florida and New York.
The report released Tuesday says Californians had racked up more than $106.8 billion in credit card debt by the end of 2017.
The Lone Star State was No. 2 at $67.3 billion, followed by Florida with $59.2 billion and New York with $58.1 billion.
Rounding out the top 10 are Pennsylvania ($33.2 billion), Illinois ($32.2 billion), New Jersey ($29.6 billion), Ohio ($26.7 billion), Virginia ($26.5 billion) and Georgia ($26.3 billion).
Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli says the totals were based on statistics compiled in February by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
