Based on its five-factor composite, the institution earns a health score of 87/100 (Excellent), anchored by a net worth ratio of 13.76% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. Charter #22220 operates under peer group $10M–$50M, a cohort of 1163 similarly-sized institutions.
Loan book quality rounds out the picture. The delinquency rate of 0.13% measures loans 60+ days past due against total loans outstanding - the peer group average for $10M–$50M credit unions sits at 1.145%, so this institution is running tighter than peers. The loan-to-share ratio of 72.73% indicates how aggressively member deposits are being deployed into lending, within the 60-80% range most industry analysts consider optimally balanced between yield and liquidity. Return on assets stands at 1.70% on net income of $341K 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.
