Average credit score on Generations1

As what declared in 2017 Experian State of Credit report, Gen Z (born after 1996)'s average credit score is much lower than the oldest generation - Silent Gen (born after 1946): Gen Z's score is 634 and Silent Gen's score is 729. Followed them, Boomers (1947-1966)' score is 703, Gen X's (1967-1987) score is 658 while Millenials (1982-1995) reached 638. Such the statistics unsurprisingly result from the fact that the older cardholders are, the maturer their credit score history gets.
