ALBANY, N.Y. (AP/WSVN) — The New York state comptroller’s office says Florida is among the nation’s four most-populated states that carry the highest total amount of credit card debt.
Democratic Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli said in a report released Tuesday that California leads the way followed by Texas, Florida and New York. Californians had racked up more than $106.8 billion in credit card debt by the end of 2017.
Texas is $67.3 billion in debt, followed by Florida with $59.2 billion and New York with $58.1 billion.
Rounding out the top 10 are Pennsylvania ($33.2 billion), Illinois ($32.2 billion), New Jersey ($29.6 billion), Ohio ($26.7 billion), Virginia ($26.5 billion) and Georgia ($26.3 billion).
DiNapoli says the totals were based on statistics compiled in February by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.
