The CMBS properties our stress model flags here, plus recent store closures and layoffs. Stressed is a wider net than distressed — the distressed figure above counts only loans already in special servicing or 60+ days delinquent, while these dots also include performing loans facing maturity or coverage pressure. Property dots sit at the center of their ZIP code, not the building — they show where stress concentrates, not which asset. Closures and layoffs are pinned to address where we have it.

How much CRE distress is there in Boise City, ID right now?

For Boise City, ID, distress is mixed but skewed toward the lender side. Of the six paired readings, three are quiet on both legs and three disagree, with zero pairs elevated on both sides.

The bank CRE leg is the only elevated signal: $495.9 million of bank CRE sits over the noncurrent line, a 9.22% rate, ranking 64th of 393 metros by count and 75th by rate. The other three legs are quiet — store closures sit at 3 closures (0.89 per 100k jobs, rank 128th of 392), WARN notices at 4 notices (0.08% of employment, rank 113th of 386), and securitized loans in special servicing at 0 rows (0.0%, rank 220th of 335).

The three disagreements all share one pattern: bank stress without a visible tenant or employment cause. The reading across pairs is "bank stress without a visible tenant cause — look for construction or a rate reset, not vacancy," "lender stress with no employment event behind it," and "the lenders here are stressed on a book the tape cannot see." This suggests the distress is on the lending side, not the property or labor side — possibly a book of loans allocated here by branch deposits rather than one located at the buildings themselves.

Jobs & Demand — the labor market under the collateralWatch it change →
Every other zone on this page reads the credit — what the loan is doing. This one reads the demand underneath it. Office jobs pay office rent; office rent services the office loan. When the jobs go, the DSCR follows — but not for another year or two. That lag is the whole point of looking here.

Monthly metro unemployment (BLS LAUS) — the freshest labor signal there is, about six weeks behind. Read the direction, not the level: a 4% metro that is rising and a 6% metro that is falling are not telling you the same thing.

Annual employment by sector (BLS QCEW, 2024; 336,302 jobs in the metro). QCEW lags — it is the structural read, not the current one, and we pair it with the monthly unemployment above on purpose. Office-using sums five supersectors; where BLS withholds any one of them for disclosure, we show nothing rather than a number we know is too low — so a missing sector here means “suppressed at the source,” not “zero.”

Same definition as the cards above — distressed means in special servicing or 60+ days delinquent, dollar-weighted — on a different clock. The cards are today’s tape; this is the disclosed history panel, quarter by quarter, so you can read direction rather than level. Trusts file monthly, so a quarter is usually well covered within weeks of opening and the newest one shown is normally the current one; it is withheld only when its filed book falls below 60% of recent quarters.
Share of the metro’s CMBS in special servicing or 60+ days delinquent, by quarter — a firmer, backward-looking read. A loan under 1.0x DSCR that is still paying is not counted here.

$91M of CMBS matures here within two years. The 9 regional and local banks that gather deposits here could write roughly $595M more CRE before the 300% supervisory line, so the maturing balance is 0.15× that room. The median metro sits at 0.12×.

The room above is already part-sold. Construction lending is a promise drawn down over two or three years, and the undrawn part is an obligation the bank cannot decline while the borrower performs — every one of those dollars lands in the same CRE book the 300% line governs. These banks have $253M of construction committed and not yet advanced, of which $217M comes out of the room above, leaving $377M, with 4 banks whose entire remaining room is spoken for. A bank with no room contributes zero here, never a negative one — capacity does not net across balance sheets — so $36M of what has been promised is not deducted at all, because there is nothing left to deduct it from. On today’s capital that is funding already contracted which would cross the line as it draws. SR 06-26 draws a second line at 100% of capital for construction and land: 4 more cross it once their own commitments fund.

* Two ratios, two perimeters. The large figure is supervisory CRE over total risk-based capital — construction, multifamily and non-owner-occupied nonfarm nonresidential. That is the book SR 06-26 draws its 300% line against, and it is what the red coloring and the room contributed are both measured on. Total beneath it adds owner-occupied CRE — lending to a business on its own premises — which the guidance deliberately leaves out. A bank can sit well above 300% on total CRE and still be inside the line, with real room to lend; both are shown so the gap is visible rather than surprising.
How to read this. It is not whether any particular loan can refinance — a borrower also reaches national banks, life companies, agencies and debt funds. It is how much of this metro’s maturing volume the local bank sector could absorb if it were the only door. Banks are placed by deposit share (FDIC Summary of Deposits, June 2025) — a proxy for where they lend, not a measurement; call reports carry no collateral geography. Room = 3× total risk-based capital less CRE held (SR 06-26, the capital base the rule names — not book equity), from Q2 2026 call reports, apportioned by that share. Committed construction comes from FFIEC Schedule RC-L as filed at 2026-06-30 — the undrawn half of loans already written, which the balance sheet above does not show. Banks in more than 5 states, single-branch bookers and banks that do not lend CRE are excluded — 313 banks holding $268.2B of national capacity not counted here.

Banks are matched to their HQ metro (a proxy for footprint). Noncurrent CRE = CRE-balance-weighted blend of multifamily / nonresidential / construction noncurrent (distress already arrived). Early Warning is a validated leading signal — the bank’s 30-89 early-delinquency rank among all CRE lenders this quarter, which has predicted ~2.3× forward CRE distress. Per-bank flags are on a plan.

Do the banks lending in Boise City, ID have the capacity to refinance its maturing CRE?

Boise City is in a slack capacity position, with a maturing CMBS wall of $91.4mm against regional/community bank room of $377.1mm after committed draws, producing a wall-to-room ratio of 0.24 — just above the median 0.20, ranking 125 of 270 from the most strained, though the distressed share reading is 0.0%. While banks here could absorb the wall with slack to spare, that ratio partly reflects an exclusion artifact: with 9 banks qualifying against 7 excluded, the capacity reading is driven by deposit footprint rather than total credit supply, and the CMBS wall itself may understate the metro’s full maturity load, so the metric is an upper bound on local bank absorption rather than a definitive answer.

STATE PROXY — bankruptcy filings carry the filer's state, not the property's location, so this counts CRE-likely filings in the states this metro's collateral sits in. It is not a metro-native count.
affected_employees is nullable — notices that state no headcount are counted but contribute 0 jobs, so this is a floor.
Closures are matched ZIP -> CBSA and only APPROVED rows count (a pending, machine-extracted row is not yet a closure). This mirrors the Metro Pulse page, not the convergence board — the board applies neither filter and counts higher. Layoffs take the same ZIP -> CBSA and review treatment, and a WARN notice counts if it affects >= 10 people or does not state a headcount (a NULL is not 'fewer than 10').

What a snapshot can’t tell you is when it moves: which loan slipped a DSCR band this month, which bank’s early-warning rank crossed into the top quartile, which submarket started turning while the headline number still looked fine.
