Noncurrent loans are 0.64% of the book, 8th of 12 against a median of 0.54%; 0.51% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 1.5 times. Commercial real estate is 40.9% of loans, 5th of 12 against a median of 45.7%, and 318% of capital, above the 300% screen, with construction at 81% against the 100% screen. CRE has grown +83.0% over 36 months, past the guidance's 50% prong.
Return on assets is 1.99%, 2nd of 12 against a median of 1.30%, on an efficiency ratio of 51.5%, 2nd of 12. Five years ago it was 2.36%. 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 11.0% of loans).
