What This Data Says About Chadron
The five-factor composite scores Chadron at 86/100 (Excellent), reflecting a net worth ratio of 10.51% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. This federal credit union, headquartered in CHADRON, Nebraska, reports 2,242 members, $20.5M in total assets, and $14.7M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025 under charter #13966 (peer group $10M–$50M, a cohort of 1163 similarly-sized institutions).
Deposits deployed into lending sit at a 81.98% loan-to-share ratio, above the 80% band that can indicate tighter liquidity management. Loan quality, meanwhile, shows 1.30% of the book 60+ days past due - the peer group average for $10M–$50M credit unions sits at 1.145%, so this institution is running looser than peers. Return on assets stands at 0.59% on net income of $121K for the period; a not-for-profit cooperative typically runs a modest positive ROA, returning surplus to members through better rates and lower fees rather than to shareholders.
Year-over-year membership changed by -0.18%. Reported quarterly to the NCUA, this data reflects the 2025Q4 Call Report period.
