Californians are racking up the most credit card debt, according to recent data from personal finance website WalletHub.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Currently, consumers across the nation hold $1 trillion in credit card debt.<\/p>\n

In 2022 alone, $116 billion in new credit card debt was added as inflation continued to weigh on household budgets.\u00a0In the second quarter of 2023, consumers added almost $43 billion, which marks the second-largest increase during that period to date, according to WalletHub.<\/p>\n

For the average household, credit card balances sat at about $10,170 at the end of the second quarter, only $2,242 less than the record set during the fourth quarter of 2007, during the Great Recession. \u00a0<\/p>\n

WalletHub compared the 50 states based on the latest consumer-finance data available from TransUnion, the Federal Reserve and the Bureau of Labor Statistics, adjusted for inflation.<\/p>\n
