U.S. consumer delinquency rates increased on the whole in the first quarter of the year with 3.2% of outstanding debt in some stage of delinquency at the end of March, the New York Fed said Tuesday in its quarterly report on household debt and credit. Delinquency transition rates increased for all debt types.
Annualized, approximately 8.9% of credit card balances and 7.9% of auto loans transitioned into delinquency, the New York Fed report said. Delinquency transition rates for mortgages increased by 0.3 percentage point yet remain low by historic standards. The report shows total household debt increased by USD184 billion (1.1%) in the first quarter to USD17.69 trillion.
New credit card delinquencies are disproportionately ascribable to maxed-out borrowers and their balances, NY Fed researchers said. The share of maxed-out borrowers is approaching pre-pandemic levels and transition rates for the group into delinquency are higher than pre-pandemic, resulting in higher transition rates into credit card delinquency overall.
