When comparing loans in Texas, your credit score is the single biggest factor determining the rates you are offered. With a state average FICO of 695 and a median household income of $64,034, most Texas residents qualify for mainstream lending products — but the rate difference between good and excellent credit can be substantial.
Texas's average credit score is surprisingly low given its strong economy, but reflects the state's massive and diverse population — including large immigrant communities building credit, young workers in the major metros, and varied rural economies.
The average Texas resident carries $6,903 in credit card debt, $25,500 in auto debt, and $35,300 in student loans. Adding a new loan increases your total debt obligations — use the calculator above to ensure the combined payment fits within a back-end DTI below 43% on your income of approximately $64,034.
Texas's median income is near the national average, with Austin, Dallas, and Houston carrying significantly above-average incomes. The lack of state income tax improves effective purchasing power, though property taxes are among the highest nationally.
