States with the biggest quarterly rise in weighted nonperforming ratio
U.S. states whose institution-weighted nonperforming-loan ratio grew the most quarter-over-quarter — surfaces regions where stress is building across the local banking landscape.

Methodology
We rank U.S. states by the quarter-over-quarter change in institution-weighted nonperforming-loan ratio. The weighting is by total loans, so larger institutions move the state-level number more. The minimum delta threshold is 0 (we surface any state in positive territory). Underlying institution-level inputs: bank-side nonperforming volumes — FFIEC Call Report Schedule RC-N line 9, 90+ days past due col B (RCFD1407 / RCON1407) plus nonaccrual col C (RCFD1403 / RCON1403); bank-side total loans denominator — Schedule RC-C line 12 (RCFD2122 / RCON2122). CU-side 60+ delinquent volumes — NCUA ACCT_041B (direct aggregate); CU-side total loans denominator — NCUA ACCT_025B. Each institution's per-quarter ratio is computed inline (numerator / denominator) and then aggregated by HQ state with institution-weighted average. Cross-type comparability: state aggregates blend bank "non-current" and CU "60+ delinquent" — LCD approximations, not equivalents. Methodology updated 2026-03-31: bank institution-level nonperforming volumes underlying the state weighting now source directly from FFIEC Call Report Schedule RC-N rather than BankFind ratio-derived approximation.
