Racial disparities in credit scores stem from systemic factors: historical discrimination like redlining created wealth gaps, leading to lower homeownership (74% white vs. XX% Black) and higher debt burdens (e.g., $25K more student loans for Black grads). Income inequalities ($77K white vs. $53K Black households) hinder timely payments. Scoring models favor mortgages over rentals, perpetuating biases. Sources: Urban Institute, FICO, Brookings. Reforms like including rent payments could help.
