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 Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville, FL right now?
For Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville, FL (CBSA 37340), distress is uneven across the four feeds. Of the six possible pairings, zero are both elevated and three are both quiet, with three pairs disagreeing — the clearest signal being that WARN layoff notices are elevated while the other legs are not.
The one elevated reading is layoff notices (WARN), at 9 notices for a rate of 0.23% of the metro's employment (ranked 60th of 386 by count, 104th by rate). That lone spike reads structurally as "a large-employer event rather than a retail one," and the disagreement with the securitized book (which is quiet) is described as "employers are cutting and the securitized book has not moved."
On the other side, store closures are 0.47 per 100k jobs (ranked 258th of 392 by count, 300th by rate), bank CRE over the noncurrent line is 12.3% of allocated dollars (ranked 117th of 393, 45th by rate), and securitized loans in special servicing are 7.08% of the tape balance (ranked 90th of 335, 60th by rate). When bank and CMBS agree quiet, the note says a metro can run hot on one and cold on the other with neither reading wrong — but here, both are cold, suggesting lenders' books are not yet showing stress.
The three quiet-quiet pairs and three disagreements make this a metro where employment is the only active distress channel so far; the property-level and lender-level reads have not followed. There are no blind legs, so all six comparisons are adjudicated.

Which distress signals are elevated in Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville, FL, and which cannot be read?
In Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville, FL, the elevated distress signal is the warn reading — with 9 WARN notices over the past year, pointing to layoffs and a softening real-economy backdrop. However, CRE-credit distress remains limited: bank CRE at risk at the 90th percentile is 9.3%, bank CRE exposure is $1.56bn, and distressed lender CRE totals $191.4mm, while $0 in distressed bank assets and 0 distressed banks are recorded. On the CMBS side, special servicing covers $25.0mm — a 7.1% share of metro UPB — but only 1 loan is in special servicing. The materiality is modest, with the phase described as early and the convergence flag at 1. The bank allocation exact share is 3.1%. Readings that cannot be derived from the given data include: the 90th percentile of bank CRE at risk (as an absolute dollar figure is not provided), the exact distressed bank asset dollar amount beyond 0 (already stated), and any store-closure trend beyond 1 closure in the past year — though that count is provided, its dollar impact is not. No additional unread metrics are specified beyond what is listed.

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.
Jobs by CRE-relevant sector · 2024
Annual employment by sector (BLS QCEW, 2024; 213,004 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.”

Realized distress is FALLING — 6.5% now (2026-07), -2.1pp over the year.
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.

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 $66M of construction committed and not yet
advanced, of which $39M
comes out of the room above, leaving $19M,
with 1 bank
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 $26M 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:
1 more cross it

These hold deposits in this metro but are left out of the capacity above, because for them deposit location stops indicating where they lend — or they do not lend CRE at all. Real money that could refinance here is deliberately not counted.

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 —

The large figure is supervisory CRE over total risk-based capital —

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 Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville, FL have the capacity to refinance its maturing CRE?
The lending capacity in Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville, FL is tight for refinancing its maturing CRE. With a maturing balance of $85.1mm across 6 loans, the wall-to-room ratio stands at 4.41, ranking it 18 of 270 metros from the most strained. That said, the reading is driven by narrow local bank availability—only 3 banks qualify versus 3 excluded—leaving room before committed draws of $58.7mm but just $19.3mm after accounting for $65.9mm in already-committed draws. The distressed share is 7.0%, and the CMBS UPB is $352.5mm, but the local capacity is strained relative to the wall, making refinancing dependent on non-local lenders.

What has actually happened on the ground in Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville, FL recently?
In the Palm Bay-Melbourne-Titusville, FL metro over the past 365 days, ground-level distress has been modest but real: there have been 4 CRE-bankruptcy filings (a state proxy, not metro-native), 1 store closure, and 5 WARN notices, affecting 662 jobs—though that job count is a floor, as notices without stated headcounts contribute 0. The single closure and layoff activity suggest incremental churn rather than a broad retail or office exodus, but with only one store closing and the bankruptcy count heavily skewed by state-level filing location, the reading points to localized pressure, not systemic collapse.
The figures behind this 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').
