Pioneer Community is a federal credit union headquartered in PALISADE, Nebraska, serving 712 members with $4.9M in total assets and $3.8M in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025. Based on its five-factor composite, the institution earns a health score of 87/100 (Excellent), anchored by a net worth ratio of 14.60% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. Charter #24682 operates under peer group $2M–$10M, a cohort of 566 similarly-sized institutions.
Two more numbers round out the picture: a 0.91% delinquency rate (loans 60+ days past due against the total book) - the peer group average for $2M–$10M credit unions sits at 1.809%, so this institution is running tighter than peers - and a 91.09% loan-to-share ratio, above the 80% band that can indicate tighter liquidity management. Return on assets stands at 1.46% on net income of $72K 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 -1.52%. The quarterly NCUA 5300 Call Report is the source for everything above, current through 2025Q4.
