Figure 1: Credit Scores and Trustworthiness

Note: The figure replicates the figure 4 in Dokko, Li, and Hayes (2015), which plots the weighted share of respondents who replied that "most people can be trusted" to the 2000 Social Capital Community Survey of each surveyed community (horizontal axis) against the average credit score for the same community (vertical axis). A community in the survey is typically a county.
