What This Data Says About Lakes
Charter #10772, peer group $10M–$50M, a cohort of 1163 similarly-sized institutions: that's Lakes, a federal credit union in Monticello, Indiana with 3,020 members, $25.9M in total assets, and $15.8M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. The five-factor composite scores it 100/100 (Excellent), helped by a net worth ratio of 13.11% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules.
Loan book quality rounds out the picture. The delinquency rate of 0.09% 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 72.16% 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 3.21% on net income of $832K 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 4.93%. These figures come from the 2025Q4 NCUA 5300 Call Report, filed on a quarterly cadence. The stated field of membership (currently: Community) governs who can join. Before opening an account or borrowing, see our disclaimer for NCUSIF deposit-insurance coverage and how to use this data.
