Community & Regional Bank Share
21.9%
of market deposits held by banks with $100M to $50B in assets. #265 of 293. 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.
Top-3 Deposit Share: concentrated
75.6%
The combined deposit share of the three largest institutions in the market. A lower share means deposits are spread across more institutions.

2025
Deposits moved -61.6% between 2022 and 2023, alongside a sharp shift in concentration. Large single-institution changes usually reflect where balances are booked, following a merger, acquisition, or internal reorganization, rather than lending or deposit-gathering in the local economy. Read this trend with that in mind.

Branches: 299 in 2020 to 262 in 2025. Institutions: 26 to 29. Top-three share: 84.2% to 75.6%. Deposits per branch: $258M.

A note on this trend. Capital One Bank (USA) booked $71.3 billion at a single office in this market in 2020, a headquarters or online-bank booking, not local retail deposits. That balance was booked here in 2020 but was gone by 2025, so the 45.4% decline shown here mainly reflects that reclassification rather than local market activity. Setting such headquarters-booked balances aside, deposits were about $28.9 billion in 2020 and $33.5 billion in 2025. Deposits are recorded where a branch reports them, which can differ from where customers are.

The 29 insured institutions with a branch presence, as of June 30, 2025. Five-year change compares the same institution’s deposits in 2020 and 2025. 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 2020 presence” means neither the institution nor a bank it later absorbed reported deposits in this market that year. Deposit figures are nominal and are not adjusted for inflation.
