Average Lifetime Credit Card Debt in Every U.S. State (2025)

https://lemmy.world/post/44018356

What is this saying?

That people have a total lifetine throughput of 300-500k?

What does that tell us?

I do virtually all of my spending on credit card, and pay the full balance every month. So… No shit, throughput is high. But revolving credit is zero, in my case. Other people will carry a balance, but so what?

A more useful metric might be average credit card debt balance, or average interest paid per month or per year.

Either this graphic is very atupid, or I am.

Enlighten me please.

I think this graphics lacks context yes, but I don’t think it’s throughput. I think it’s average lifetime debt on credit cards. Although that doesn’t mean much either.

As you say what is this saying… And provide the why either. Cost of living, age group, why do people have more debt than other? Also what is the median period have credit card debt?

This is not a geographic map data point.
