Pennian Bank: Bank Stress & Real-Estate Credit Exposure

Bank stress at Pennian Bank (FDIC Cert #7613) registers 92/100 on DLRadar's scale — a severe reading. The score is derived deterministically from the bank's public FDIC call-report financials — asset quality, capital adequacy, earnings and real-estate loan concentration — then weighted by where it actually lends.

Its lending reaches counties such as Dauphin County, PA, Cumberland County, PA, Perry County, PA, Juniata County, PA, each tied back to DLRadar's distress signals. Over the trailing week its stress reading is stable. Momentum matters as much as the level — a rising score means the lenders behind a market are tightening, and financing tends to seize up before distress reaches listings. Pennian Bank is held under First Community Financial Corp, so its disclosures are public and its stress trajectory is externally verifiable. Because Pennian Bank is rescored on each quarterly FDIC filing and graded on the identical model applied to every U.S. bank, its 92/100 reading stays current and directly comparable — a like-for-like number across 1 state and against any other institution. DLRadar does not model Pennian Bank in isolation: the 77-ZIP footprint is cross-referenced against foreclosure filings, tax-lien activity and ownership churn in each of those 4 counties, so a shift in the bank's severe posture can be read directly against on-the-ground distress. A severe score on a footprint this size means the markets Pennian Bank touches inherit a corresponding share of that lending pressure. The DLRadar bank-stress score is a composite, not a single ratio: it weighs Pennian Bank's capital adequacy, asset quality, earnings and — most heavily — its real-estate loan concentration, then scales the result by where the bank actually lends, so two banks with identical headline financials can score differently based on the markets they finance. Pennian Bank runs a compact, single-state real-estate lending footprint — 4 U.S. counties across 1 state, spanning 77 ZIP codes. The deepest footprints are Pennsylvania (4 counties).

For buyers, lender stress is an early map of supply: when Pennian Bank pulls back, the counties it finances see stalled refinances, frozen construction credit, and owners sliding into distress. That makes bank stress a forward indicator — it points to tomorrow's distressed supply, not yesterday's.

The same deterministic model runs for all FDIC banks, each wired to on-the-ground foreclosure, tax-lien and ownership signals. The result is an early, auditable read on supply, every figure anchored to public data.
