Borrower risk profiles

A consumer’s credit score can be an important determinant of their access to credit. These interactive graphs show how lending activity has changed for borrowers with different credit score profiles.

We focus on five credit score levels of a commercially available credit score:

  • Deep subprime (credit scores below 580)
  • Subprime (credit scores of 580-619)
  • Near-prime (credit scores of 620-659)
  • Prime (credit scores of 660-719)
  • Super-prime (credit scores of 720 or above)

This page includes interactive graphs and CSV files for:

Monitoring overall activity helps us identify new developments in financial markets. These interactive graphs show the number and aggregate dollar volume of new auto loans opened each month. Aggregated monthly originations are displayed along with a seasonally adjusted series, which adjust for expected seasonal variation in lending activity.
