VantageScore is an industry leader in driving financially inclusive credit outcomes for traditionally underserved groups.

It is unlawful for a lender to discriminate on a prohibited basis in any aspect of a credit transaction. Users should not under any circumstances use Inclusion360 to facilitate credit-related decisions using any prohibited discriminatory factor or the illegal practice of “redlining” (avoiding to provide services to individuals living in communities of color because of the race or national origin of the people who live in those communities), or for any other prohibited purpose.

Depictions of VantageScore credit scores are not a guarantee of obtaining a VantageScore credit score or of obtaining a score in any credit score range depicted as lendable. VantageScore results may vary and not all lenders use VantageScore 4.0 or may use a different version of a VantageScore credit scoring model.

Inclusion360 uses the U.S. Census Bureau’s Congressional District Relationship files to map Congressional Districts to ZIP code data. The Congressional Relationship files are based on 2010 Census and the Congressional Districts of the 116th Congress (January 2019 - January 2021). Inclusion360 has not been updated to reflect the limited number of changes to Districts for the 117th Congress.

Inclusion360 maps zip-code level data to sub-geographies such as PUMA, CBSA, Congressional District and County.
