The filing

Loans grew +1.5% in the year, 11th of 12, and deposits grew 19.3%; the cohort's median loan growth is +7.3%.
Noncurrent loans are 0.31% of the book, 3rd of 12 against a median of 0.61%; 0.20% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 4.4 times. Commercial real estate is 53.1% of loans, the highest in the cohort against a median of 34.5%, and 360% of capital, above the 300% screen, with construction at 59% against the 100% screen.
Return on assets is 1.03%, 10th of 12 against a median of 1.35%, on an efficiency ratio of 58.5%, 9th of 12. Five years ago it was 0.84%. The question is what the concentration does under a commercial real estate stress, and how much of it is owner-occupied (owner-occupied nonresidential is 5.3% of loans).
