Based on its five-factor composite, the institution earns a health score of 57/100 (Fair), anchored by a net worth ratio of 7.44% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. Charter #4060 operates under peer group $100M–$500M, a cohort of 1069 similarly-sized institutions.
2.13% of the loan book sits 60+ days past due, the headline loan-quality read - the peer group average for $100M–$500M credit unions sits at 0.894%, so this institution is running looser than peers. Deposit deployment is captured by the 92.69% loan-to-share ratio, above the 80% band that can indicate tighter liquidity management. Return on assets stands at -1.19% on net income of $-3303132 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 -0.52%. These figures come from the 2025Q4 NCUA 5300 Call Report, filed on a quarterly cadence. The stated field of membership (currently: Other/Community) governs who can join.
