As of April 2025, outstanding mortgage and revolving consumer debt continue to rise year-over-year, while non-revolving debt growth has slowed. Non-mortgage debt increased for auto, bankcards, and personal loans, but student loans and private label cards decreased.
-
Mortgage delinquencies rose year-over-year by April 2025, while delinquencies for auto, bankcard, private label, and personal loans improved. Within income tiers, older individuals appear to show greater financial resilience due to more time to build savings and equity.
