As of April 2022, the national average FICO Score currently sits at 716, the same as when FICO last reported on it a year ago. The leveling-off of the average FICO Score has been driven by modest changes in key metrics considered by the score: a small uptick in missed payments, slightly elevated consumer debt levels, and an increase in consumers obtaining new credit.
