What This Data Says About Cta-74th Street Depot
Cta-74th Street Depot is a federal credit union headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, serving 777 members with $8.8M in total assets and $3.1M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. Based on its five-factor composite, the institution earns a health score of 55/100 (Fair), anchored by a net worth ratio of 14.57% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. Charter #2498 operates under peer group $2M–$10M, a cohort of 566 similarly-sized institutions.
Loan book quality rounds out the picture. The delinquency rate of 5.50% measures loans 60+ days past due against total loans outstanding - the peer group average for $2M–$10M credit unions sits at 1.809%, so this institution is running looser than peers. The loan-to-share ratio of 42.07% indicates how aggressively member deposits are being deployed into lending, below the 60% band that typically signals under-deployed capital. Return on assets stands at -1.14% on net income of $-100275 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 7.17%. The institution reports against the NCUA 5300 Call Report on a quarterly cadence; the figures above reflect the 2025Q4 reporting period. Membership eligibility depends on the stated field of membership (currently: Community).
