Ignore these statistics, they're reporting
average
debt of credit cards. The level of debt per card is not an independent variable. You need to be reporting median debt.

While average doesn't mean much, I'm not sure what median debt will tell you either.
To settle the question you'd really need to know how many people carry a balance.

Deeply ignorant question: Is this not of the sort of distribution where those are related, somehow?
