Noncurrent loans are 0.56% of the book, 3rd of 6 against a median of 0.66%; 0.18% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 1.9 times. Commercial real estate is 44.4% of loans, the highest in the cohort against a median of 35.2%, and 276% of capital, below the 300% screen, with construction at 50% against the 100% screen.
Return on assets is 1.43%, the highest in the cohort against a median of 1.09%, on an efficiency ratio of 54.0%, 2nd of 6. Five years ago it was 1.16%.
