Its five-factor composite puts the health score at 90/100 (Excellent), driven in part by a net worth ratio of 16.07% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. It carries charter #19879 and reports within peer group $50M–$100M, a cohort of 584 similarly-sized institutions.
0.27% of the loan book sits 60+ days past due, the headline loan-quality read - the peer group average for $50M–$100M credit unions sits at 0.963%, so this institution is running tighter than peers. Deposit deployment is captured by the 83.85% loan-to-share ratio, above the 80% band that can indicate tighter liquidity management. Return on assets stands at 0.56% on net income of $439K 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.
