Downriver Community is a federal credit union headquartered in Ecorse, Michigan, serving 12,345 members with $189.3M in total assets and $68.9M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. Based on its five-factor composite, the institution earns a health score of 76/100 (Very Good), anchored by a net worth ratio of 9.27% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. Charter #4853 operates under peer group $100M–$500M, a cohort of 1069 similarly-sized institutions.
On loan book quality: 1.02% of loans are 60+ days past due against the total loan book - the peer group average for $100M–$500M credit unions sits at 0.894%, so this institution is running looser than peers. Meanwhile a 39.02% loan-to-share ratio shows how aggressively member deposits get deployed into lending, below the 60% band that typically signals under-deployed capital. Return on assets stands at 0.63% on net income of $1.2M 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 -2.90%. These figures come from the 2025Q4 NCUA 5300 Call Report, filed on a quarterly cadence.
