What This Data Says About Deer Lodge County School Emp
Headquartered in Anaconda, Montana, Deer Lodge County School Emp is a federal credit union with 479 members, $9.3M in total assets, and $2.9M in outstanding loans on the books as of Q4 2025. Its five-factor composite puts the health score at 89/100 (Excellent), driven in part by a net worth ratio of 12.47% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. It carries charter #10857 and reports within peer group $2M–$10M, a cohort of 566 similarly-sized institutions.
Two more numbers round out the picture: a 0.00% delinquency rate (loans 60+ days past due against the total book) - the peer group average for $2M–$10M credit unions sits at 1.809%, so this institution is running tighter than peers - and a 36.06% loan-to-share ratio, below the 60% band that typically signals under-deployed capital. Return on assets stands at 1.46% on net income of $135K 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 0.63%. All of the above reflects the 2025Q4 quarterly NCUA 5300 Call Report. Who can join depends on the field of membership (currently: Community); our disclaimer covers NCUSIF deposit-insurance coverage and how to use this data responsibly.
