Methodology

Other Real Estate Owned (OREO) is property an institution has taken onto its balance sheet through foreclosure or deed-in-lieu, held pending sale. A rising OREO balance is a late-cycle stress signal — workouts that have finished the foreclosure process and turned into property the institution must now sell. This card ranks banks and credit unions together by the quarter-over-quarter change in OREO as a share of total assets, and surfaces the top 50 whose share rose at least 0.001 (0.1 percentage points). For banks (FDIC-insured): OREO — FFIEC Call Report Schedule RC-M item 3f (RCON2150; RC-M items are reported on the RCON basis only); total assets denominator — Schedule RC (RCFD2170 / RCON2170). For credit unions: foreclosed and repossessed commercial assets (NCUA ACCT_AS0022) plus consumer real estate (ACCT_AS0023), excluding repossessed vehicles and other consumer assets; total assets denominator — NCUA ACCT_010. Comparing banks with credit unions: bank OREO and credit-union foreclosed real estate are broadly analogous — both capture property held after foreclosure — but bank Schedule RC-M item 3f also includes former bank premises and other repossessed real estate that credit unions report in separate accounts. Quarter-over-quarter changes are comparable; point-in-time totals are approximate. Methodology updated 2026-03-31: bank OREO balances now come directly from FFIEC Call Report Schedule RC-M item 3f (RCON2150). Earlier quarters used the ORE fields in FDIC BankFind financial data. The two should agree within tolerance; this changes the source, not the reported values. Read the methodology update note at /blog/npl-explorer-fdic-cdr-direct-sourcing. Methodology updated 2026-09-27: credit-union foreclosed real estate now comes from NCUA's foreclosed-asset detail (ACCT_AS0022 + ACCT_AS0023). Earlier snapshots read ACCT_798, which NCUA no longer populates, so credit unions showed none.
