Close look at consumer debt
We're getting a better idea of where many Las Vegans stand financially.
CreditKarma.com released its June 2012 Credit Climate Report, with trend data on credit card, student and mortgage debt along with credit score data.
One of the biggest findings is that consumers may be shifting from owning homes to renting. In June 2010, 38 percent of Credit Karma members nationally had mortgage debt compared to 27 percent in June 2012.

A credit score of 642 vs. 655 nationally.
