What This Data Says About Lower East Side People's
The five-factor composite scores Lower East Side People's at 56/100 (Fair), reflecting a net worth ratio of 12.63% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. This federal credit union, headquartered in NEW YORK, New York, reports 8,792 members, $87.0M in total assets, and $55.4M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025 under charter #24232 (peer group $50M–$100M, a cohort of 584 similarly-sized institutions).
4.09% of the loan book sits 60+ days past due, the headline loan-quality read - the peer group average for $50M–$100M credit unions sits at 0.963%, so this institution is running looser than peers. Deposit deployment is captured by the 86.87% loan-to-share ratio, above the 80% band that can indicate tighter liquidity management. Return on assets stands at 0.25% on net income of $216K 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 -5.95%. Reported quarterly to the NCUA, this data reflects the 2025Q4 Call Report period.
