Statue of a traditional family at 2nd and Fayette Street in Veterans Memorial Park in Comshohocken. Conshohocken's average credit score is 728 placing it 199th in the state. Locales with a high average credit score usually experience high incomes, low unemployment, and a low number of defaults on mortgages and loans.

Besides Pennsylvania’s vital role in U.S. history, the state’s economy has become one of the most crucial pillars of the financial health of the country, writes Mike Brown for LendEDU, a marketplace for private student loans, student loan refinancing, credit cards, and personal loans.

Philadelphia and Pittsburgh are home to a combined 15 Fortune 500 companies, and Pennsylvania’s gross state product of $644 billion is the sixth largest in the U.S.

“If Pennsylvania was an independent nation, it would have the 18th largest economy in the world,” Brown writes.

In an effort to evaluate how Pennsylvania’s expansive and dynamic economy was impacting the financial security of its residents, LendEDU licensed data from Experian, including the average credit score of every town and city in the state.

Nearly 1,000 towns and cities in Pennsylvania were ranked according to their average VantageScore 3.0 credit score. Cities with a high average credit score usually experience high incomes, low unemployment, and a low number of defaults on mortgages and loans.
