Which States Are Tied Up With the Most Credit Card Debt?

The Washington Post came out with a map looking at the average credit card debt per borrower in each state. Where does Illinois rank?

It's a dangerous trap to fall into. That of credit card debt. But it happens all the time, in every state. 

In some states, the average debt per person is higher than others. But where does Illinois fall on that list. We'll give you a hint: it's not number one. That "honor" falls to Alaska, and it's not even close between Alaska and the number two state, Colorado. 

Less than $500 separates Colorado from the number 15 state on our list, a list that includes Illinois. What is the average credit card debt per borrower in Illinois?
