(1) Nearly 45,300,000 people owe an average of 
$37,338 in Federal student loans, and student loan 
debt 
in 
the 
United 
States 
totals 
$1,765,000,000,000. The average student loan debt 
has tripled since 2007. 
(2) Student debt has significant racial equity 
implications. Approximately half of Black college 
students are using Federal student loans to cover 
educational costs, and Black college graduates are 
still substantially more likely than white college 
graduates to default on their debt within 4 years of 
graduation. In addition, the default rate for Black 
borrowers is substantially higher than white bor-
rowers (17 percent versus 9 percent). Students who 
are veterans, parents, first-generation college stu-
dents, or low income are also likely to face higher 
risk of default. 
(3) As of 2022, 18 percent of Hispanic and 
Latino college graduates who had taken out loans 
for tuition and school expenses were behind on their 
payments, in contrast with 9 percent of white stu-
dent borrowers. Hispanic and Latino borrowers also 
were the most likely to delay getting married and 
having children due to student loan debt.
