Noncurrent loans are 0.12% of the book, 4th of 12 against a median of 0.25%; 0.02% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 6.5 times. Commercial real estate is 47.7% of loans, 10th of 12 against a median of 30.4%, and 454% of capital, above the 300% screen, with construction at 135% against the 100% screen. CRE has grown +67.1% over 36 months, past the guidance's 50% prong.
Return on assets is 1.37%, 4th of 12 against a median of 1.21%, on an efficiency ratio of 53.2%, 4th of 12. Five years ago it was 0.87%. 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 17.4% of loans).
