What This Data Says About Hartford
Headquartered in Hartford, Connecticut, Hartford is a federal credit union with 16,292 members, $153.4M in total assets, and $70.8M in outstanding loans on the books as of Q4 2025. Its five-factor composite puts the health score at 80/100 (Excellent), driven in part by a net worth ratio of 12.33% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. It carries charter #14388 and reports within peer group $100M–$500M, a cohort of 1069 similarly-sized institutions.
Two more numbers round out the picture: a 1.55% delinquency rate (loans 60+ days past due against the total book) - the peer group average for $100M–$500M credit unions sits at 0.894%, so this institution is running looser than peers - and a 54.42% loan-to-share ratio, below the 60% band that typically signals under-deployed capital. Return on assets stands at 0.70% on net income of $1.1M 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 -1.06%. 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.
