What This Data Says About San Diego Firefighters
Headquartered in San Diego, California, San Diego Firefighters is a federal credit union with 3,525 members, $150.4M in total assets, and $65.1M in outstanding loans on the books as of Q4 2025. Its five-factor composite puts the health score at 80/100 (Excellent), driven in part by a net worth ratio of 7.51% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. It carries charter #24110 and reports within peer group $100M–$500M, a cohort of 1069 similarly-sized institutions.
Two more numbers round out the picture: a 0.04% delinquency rate (loans 60+ days past due against the total book) - the peer group average for $100M–$500M credit unions sits at 0.894%, so this institution is running tighter than peers - and a 46.79% loan-to-share ratio, below the 60% band that typically signals under-deployed capital. Return on assets stands at 0.39% on net income of $583K 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 -0.51%. These figures come from the 2025Q4 NCUA 5300 Call Report, filed on a quarterly cadence. The stated field of membership (currently: Multiple Common Bond) governs who can join.
