Citizens Bank: Bank Stress & Real-Estate Credit Exposure

Bank stress at Citizens Bank (FDIC Cert #17809) registers 85/100 on DLRadar's scale — a severe reading. DLRadar builds the reading from the institution's federal call-report filings (capital, credit quality, earnings, real-estate exposure) and weights it by the markets it finances.

Its footprint is compact and single-state: 160 ZIP codes in 8 counties over 1 states. It concentrates most in Oregon (8 counties). Seven-day momentum reads stable. Where the score is heading often matters more than where it sits, since tightening credit leads distress rather than follows it. Citizens Bank's score blends four call-report dimensions — capital, credit quality, earnings and property-loan concentration — into one 0–100 number, weighted by lending footprint, which is why it reads as a market signal rather than a generic solvency grade. A severe score on a footprint this size means the markets Citizens Bank touches inherit a corresponding share of that lending pressure. Because Citizens Bank is held under Citizens Bcorp, its financials are open to scrutiny and its trend can be independently checked. DLRadar does not model Citizens Bank in isolation: the 160-ZIP footprint is cross-referenced against foreclosure filings, tax-lien activity and ownership churn in each of those 8 counties, so a shift in the bank's severe posture can be read directly against on-the-ground distress. County by county, that footprint includes Lane County, OR, Clackamas County, OR, Washington County, OR, Marion County, OR, among others DLRadar tracks parcel by parcel. Because Citizens Bank is rescored on each quarterly FDIC filing and graded on the identical model applied to every U.S. bank, its 85/100 reading stays current and directly comparable — a like-for-like number across 1 state and against any other institution.

The acquisition angle is simple — lending capacity is what moves deals. As Citizens Bank tightens across its markets, refinances fail, builders lose credit, and over-levered owners are pushed toward default and forced exit. That makes bank stress a forward indicator — it points to tomorrow's distressed supply, not yesterday's.

DLRadar scores every FDIC-insured bank this way and links each lender to parcel-level foreclosure, tax-lien and ownership signals in the markets it serves. So you can act on distressed supply before the broader market prices it in — every figure here traces to a public federal source.
