Peoria, IL is showing a mild but highly specific distress profile — not broad-based trouble, but a lender-side stress signal without an evident tenant or employment cause behind it. The bank CRE leg reads elevated, with $368.9mm of bank CRE at lenders over the noncurrent line as of 2026-03-31, a rate of 9.62% that ranks 72nd of 393 metros. That bank signal stands alone: store closures over the trailing 365 days sit at 2.04 per 100k jobs (rank 163rd of 392), and WARN layoff notices register zero (0.0% of employment), both quiet. The disagreement between bank stress and the quiet tenant/employment legs suggests the pressure is coming from construction or a rate reset rather than vacancy — no visible retail or workforce breakage is driving it. The securitized-loans-in-special-servicing reading is unavailable: the denominator cannot be measured here, with 0% of special-servicing rows carrying a balance, so that leg is blind and should not be read as evidence of distress or calm — it's an absence of measurement, not a quiet number. Overall, one of six signal pairs is both quiet, two disagree, and three are unadjudicated because a side is blind, so the honest takeaway is lender stress without a visible operating tail, and no confirmable signal from securitized capital.

For Peoria, IL, the elevated distress signal is in bank-distressed CRE, with 10.9% of bank CRE allocated and 6.5% at risk in the 90th percentile, alongside $368.9mm in distressed lender CRE and 1.4 billion in distressed bank assets. The CMBS special servicing reading is unavailable because, although 1 loan is in special servicing, its $0.0mm balance reflects a gap in the tape, not an absence of distress; consequently, the 0.0% share is not a true measure. No other signals are currently readable, and the overall phase is "watch" with no convergence.

Peoria, IL looks comfortably able to absorb its visible CMBS maturity wall: 2 maturing loans totaling $29.7mm come due against $185.8mm of room after committed draws at banks qualifying here, with 2 banks excluded here, giving a wall-to-room ratio of 0.16 (0.07 before committed draws) — well below the median metro — and a distressed share of 0.0%, ranking 167 of 275 counting from the most strained; the usual caveats apply, since room is a deposit-footprint proxy and the $29.7mm wall covers only the $96.5mm of CMBS UPB this platform can see, not the metro's whole maturity load.
Over the trailing 365 days, the vetted reading for Peoria, IL shows 3 store closures, 0 warn notices and 15 cre bankruptcies, with jobs affected at 0 — though note that affected_employees is nullable, so that figure is a floor rather than a full accounting. The 15 cre bankruptcies figure should be read carefully: it is a STATE PROXY — a court case counts in its filing district and an SEC 8-K in the filer's state, not where the property is, so this counts CRE-likely filings in the states this metro's collateral sits in. It is not a metro-native count. Each court case is counted once even when both PACER and CourtListener carry it. A court case's state is its filing district; an SEC 8-K or news item carries the filer's state. Coverage widened to both court feeds on 2026-09-16, so counts before and after that date are not comparable.
