Default rates of various Credit Scores

As we all know, even the most impeccable Credit Score doesn't guarantee that the Borrower could NEVER default on his/her mortgage loan. But obviously, having earned a credit score of 750-800+, the Borrower appears more appealing up front, thus is considered of less risk.

 

I'm trying to find some statistics on the default rates based on various credit score categories, and was hoping someone would chime in with a piece of advice or suggestion as to where I can go looking.

 

x<620

 

620<x<640

 

x>640

 

I'm aiming to find out the % of defaults in each of these three categories.

 

Does anyone have any advice?

 

 

Many thanks!

Re: Default rates of various Credit Scores

The industry has found that the default rate is more closely tied to debt ratio than scores.

 

Scores can be & ARE manipulated.

 

 

I hope you find your data.
