Based on its five-factor composite, the institution earns a health score of 75/100 (Very Good), anchored by a net worth ratio of 9.29% - above the 7.0% NCUA "well capitalized" threshold under Prompt Corrective Action rules. Charter #16268 operates under peer group $10M–$50M, a cohort of 1163 similarly-sized institutions.
Loan book quality rounds out the picture. The delinquency rate of 1.70% 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 looser than peers. The loan-to-share ratio of 59.54% indicates how aggressively member deposits are being deployed into lending, below the 60% band that typically signals under-deployed capital. Return on assets stands at 0.42% on net income of $146K 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.
