 TITLE: Top 25 U.S. Cities by Credit Score CONTENT: California Cities Dominate the List\n-----------------------------------\nOne in three cities on this list were situated in California, a state with a high cost of living and low housing affordability rate. Of those, the majority were in the Bay Area near San Francisco and Silicon Valley, where high-paying jobs are plentiful and the economy has been booming for the past decade.\nThe cities with the best credit scores are primarily wealthy suburbs of larger cities. While they tend to have higher home prices (and associated mortgages), residents also have the incomes and overall financial health to support them. END
