In a report to Congress that’s certain to generate controversy, a new Federal Reserve study concedes credit scores vary “substantially” among different racial and ethnic groups.
Posted on: September 16th, 2007“Lawmakers ordered the study because critics have long charged that credit scores are biased against African-Americans, Hispanics and other minorities.
But after a massive, multi-year review of three different credit-scoring systems – including one the Fed’s own economists created – researchers concluded that: Credit scores are highly accurate in predicting future payment performance.
Credit-rating systems aren’t inherently biased, although African-Americans and Hispanics do have lower average scores than non-Hispanic whites and Asians.”
