, but we could have saved a lot of time if we’d just drawn a line around the contiguous places with low credit scores.We here at the Department of Data are dedicated to exploring the weird and wondrous power of the data that defines our world.The region’s poor credit means Southerners are paying more to borrow money, assuming they can qualify for loans at all.
