At an average debt load per state of over $4,500, the nationwide auto debt load increased by over $9 billion in Q4 2018 to $1.3 trillion. This number, boosted by historically strong levels of new loans, also comes with a boost in serious delinquency rates to 2.4 percent.

Four of the five states with the highest per capita auto debt loads are in Southern states, and four of the five states with the lowest loads are in Northeastern states (including the District of Columbia in first place). Michigan, not known for its economic robustness, has the fifth-lowest auto debt load. Of course, the cost of the car loan alone is not the only driving expense: there are also factors like parking, fuel and insurance rates

When the plant entered into operation, CLP became the first electricity supplier in Hong Kong to employ natural gas for power generation, and since then, the use of natural gas has enabled CLP to reduce total emissions – even at a time when the power demand on the company’s system rose by 80 percent.
