Noncurrent loans are 0.50% of the book, 3rd of 11 against a median of 0.60%; 0.17% is 30 to 89 days past due, and the allowance covers them 2.3 times. Commercial real estate is 44.9% of loans, the highest in the cohort against a median of 38.6%, and 309% of capital, above the 300% screen, with construction at 43% against the 100% screen.
Return on assets is 1.48%, 4th of 11 against a median of 1.35%, on an efficiency ratio of 55.1%, 4th of 11. Five years ago it was 1.33%. 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 4.3% of loans).
