of county deposits held by banks with $100M to $100B in assets. #1,510 of 1,523. A higher share points to a market where small to mid-size institutions, the kind that compete on relationships and local decision-making, hold more ground.

A note on this trend. Citibank booked $637.7 billion at 2 offices in this county in 2026, a headquarters or online-bank booking, not local retail deposits. It held $384.7 billion here in 2021, so the 65.1% increase shown here mainly reflects that booking rather than local market activity. Setting such headquarters-booked balances aside, deposits were about $1.7 billion in 2021 and $3.8 billion in 2026. Deposits are recorded where a branch reports them, which can differ from where customers are.

The 26 insured institutions with a branch presence in this county, per the FDIC Summary of Deposits, June 30, 2026. Five-year change compares the same institution’s county deposits in 2021 and 2026. Institutions are tracked by FDIC certificate number, and where an institution acquired another bank, the acquired bank’s prior deposits are folded into the baseline so the change reflects the combined, continuing franchise rather than reading as new. “No 2021 presence” means neither the institution nor a bank it later absorbed reported deposits in this county that year. Deposit figures are nominal and are not adjusted for inflation.
