The average Michigan household carries $85,000 in total consumer debt on a median income of $59,234. Debt consolidation makes sense when you can qualify for a lower combined interest rate than you are currently paying across multiple accounts.
Michigan residents carry near-average total debt. Auto loan balances are significant — the state's car culture and auto industry mean vehicle ownership is nearly universal and car values trend higher than in many states.
With Michigan's average credit score of 721, most residents qualify for personal loan consolidation at rates meaningfully below credit card APRs. Home equity options may also be available given Michigan's housing market, but these convert unsecured debt to secured debt — use with caution.
Michigan sits close to the national average for credit scores. The auto industry recovery has supported income growth in Detroit and manufacturing towns, while university cities like Ann Arbor and East Lansing post above-average scores.
