With the number of delinquent credit card accounts rising by as much as 29% in certain cities over the past year, the personal finance website WalletHub has released its updated report on the Cities Where Credit Card Delinquency Is Increasing the Most. The report highlights the cities where residents are facing the greatest financial challenges.

"Credit card delinquency is increasing the most in Fremont, California, as the city's residents were delinquent on nearly 29% more credit card tradelines in Q1 2025 than Q1 2024," said John Kiernan, WalletHub editor.
