MODERATORS
Yea who the fuck designed this color scheme. And the data points being so....random? Why not go by 50 or 100...
Could be a choice to reflect the distribution of different scores. I can't imagine credit scores are a very linear distribution.
It also doesn't go low and high enough. The first and last category should show everything below and everything above respectively.
I mean a 687 credit score isn't ideal but it's far from how bad it can get.
It's showing averages. Just because certain scores are possible for an individual doesn't mean there's a district somewhere with that average score.
My credit score is not shown here because there is no district with that average score.
Makes sense, thanks.
