(Tier: 15.83%, National: 17.06%)
worse than tier avg

Credit Risk Growth

risk
#220 of 973 • Bottom 22.5% in tier

Loan portfolio growing while delinquencies are rising. Expansion with deteriorating credit quality needs attention.

973 of 973 Community banks match · 1464 nationally
→ Stable -10 banks QoQ

Liquidity Strain

risk
#279 of 643 • Bottom 43.2% in tier

Loan-to-deposit ratio above 90% - loan demand outpacing deposits. Bumping against liquidity limits, funding solutions needed.

(Tier: 76.64%, National: 76.70%)
worse than tier avg

Flatlined Growth

risk
