A report from TransUnion Monday showed the share of people classified as low-risk, super prime borrowers — having credit scores of 781-850, typically — is on the rise, increasing from 37.1% in the third quarter of 2019 to 40.9% in this year’s third quarter. The subprime segment, or riskier consumers with credit scores of 300 to 600, has also increased, erasing progress made during pandemic-era stimulus and relief programs to return to 2019 levels.
