What This Data Says About Hometown
3,965 members and $36.4M in total assets sit behind Hometown, a federal credit union in Peru, Indiana, which posts a health score of 73/100 (Very Good) on the five-factor composite, with $25.8M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025 and a net worth ratio of 32.22% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. The credit union operates under charter #1621 in peer group $10M–$50M, a cohort of 1163 similarly-sized institutions.
On loan book quality: 2.06% of loans are 60+ days past due against the total loan book - the peer group average for $10M–$50M credit unions sits at 1.145%, so this institution is running looser than peers. Meanwhile a 105.09% loan-to-share ratio shows how aggressively member deposits get deployed into lending, above the 80% band that can indicate tighter liquidity management. Return on assets stands at 3.52% on net income of $1.3M 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 -1.02%. The institution reports against the NCUA 5300 Call Report on a quarterly cadence; the figures above reflect the 2025Q4 reporting period.
