What This Data Says About Community First
The five-factor composite scores Community First at 58/100 (Fair), reflecting a net worth ratio of 6.07% - relative to the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. This state credit union, headquartered in Santa Rosa, California, reports 58,779 members, $914.9M in total assets, and $645.7M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025 under charter #61667 (peer group Over $500M, a cohort of 749 similarly-sized institutions).
Loan book quality rounds out the picture. The delinquency rate of 2.16% measures loans 60+ days past due against total loans outstanding - the peer group average for Over $500M credit unions sits at 0.874%, so this institution is running looser than peers. The loan-to-share ratio of 79.60% indicates how aggressively member deposits are being deployed into lending, within the 60-80% range most industry analysts consider optimally balanced between yield and liquidity. Return on assets stands at 0.34% on net income of $3.1M 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 -3.21%. These figures come from the 2025Q4 NCUA 5300 Call Report, filed on a quarterly cadence.
