What This Data Says About State Department
The five-factor composite scores State Department at 79/100 (Very Good), reflecting a net worth ratio of 10.54% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. This federal credit union, headquartered in ALEXANDRIA, Virginia, reports 85,016 members, $2.94B in total assets, and $1.52B in outstanding loans as of Q4 2025 under charter #435 (peer group Over $500M, a cohort of 749 similarly-sized institutions).
On loan book quality: 1.00% of loans are 60+ days past due against the total loan book - the peer group average for Over $500M credit unions sits at 0.874%, so this institution is running looser than peers. Meanwhile a 63.75% loan-to-share ratio shows how aggressively member deposits get deployed into lending, within the 60-80% range most industry analysts consider optimally balanced between yield and liquidity. Return on assets stands at 0.33% on net income of $9.8M 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 -3.34%. 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.
