"From Q3 2023 to Q4 2023, residents of most states either had a less than 1% increase in their average auto loan balance, or actually had that average decrease. A few states had more dramatic increases, as high as around 3%, which suggests that people in some states are more affected by inflation in car prices or are biting off more than they can chew when it comes to loans."
