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 Stockton-Lodi, CA right now?
Stockton-Lodi shows a distinctly mixed distress picture right now: two of the four signals are elevated, but four of the six pair comparisons disagree, meaning the stress is showing up in failure mechanisms rather than lender balance sheets yet. Store closures are running at 2.47 per 100k jobs (rank 70 of 392 by count, 120 by rate) and WARN layoff notices are elevated at 0.14% of employment (rank 46 of 386 by count, 146 by rate). However, bank CRE noncurrents are quiet at 7.7% (rank 101 of 393 by count, 98 by rate), and securitized special servicing shows 0.0% of the balance (rank 220 of 335 for both count and rate) — with no securitized loans in special servicing right now. The divergences are telling: closures hot with bank CRE quiet suggests tenants are leaving before lenders book it, closures hot with the CMBS tape quiet points to retail failing on buildings that tape doesn't hold, and WARN hot with both lender books quiet indicates employment is going first. Only one pair shows both sides elevated (closures/WARN agreeing on distress), and one pair is quiet on both (banks/CMBS), while four pairs disagree — a profile consistent with early-stage retail and employment stress that hasn't yet migrated into the financed books.

0 unreadable — a side is blind
2 of four legs elevated
one metro, four independent feeds, each on its own denominator
114 of 441 metros have at least one blind leg and 48 are blind on all four. Those 48 are the same metros the board's map cannot place and the metro resolver cannot name: one ZIP-to-CBSA crosswalk boundary, showing up three ways.
Elevation is computed on the COUNT, over a flat threshold, which is a size filter. New York is 2nd of 392 by store closures and 264th of the same 392 by closures per job — both true, and which one you lead with decides what the reader believes.
Where two legs disagree, that is usually a fact about WHICH mechanism is running, not an error in either feed and not a worse metro.
A leg with no denominator, or whose numerator cannot be measured, reads LOW and means nothing. Each leg publishes a measurement state (allocated, floor, measured, no denominator, no rate, not measurable) for that reason.
Store closures: divided by 243,002 jobs
— all metro jobs, QCEW annual average — a SIZE normaliser, not a matched population: the feed spans retail, food service and pharmacy and no single QCEW sector covers it. The MATCHED read sits beside it as this leg's second reading (trailing 365 days to today).
Layoff notices (WARN): divided by 344,862 employed
— employed persons, BLS LAUS, not seasonally adjusted (trailing 365 days to today).
Bank CRE at lenders over the noncurrent line: divided by $3,227.1 mm

Securitized loans in special servicing: divided by $370.0 mm

Which distress signals are elevated in Stockton-Lodi, CA, and which cannot be read?
In Stockton-Lodi, CA, the elevated distress signals are closures and layoffs (WARN notices), with 6 store closures and 14 WARN notices recorded over the past year, indicating real-economy deterioration. However, CRE-credit stress is not yet visible: bank CRE at risk (90th percentile) is 2.5%, CMBS special servicing UPB is $0.0mm (0.0% of metro UPB), and distressed lender CRE is $248.4mm, while distressed bank assets ($0.0bn) and the bank allocation exact share (0.0%) show no bank distress. The reading for bank CRE exposure is available as $3.23bn, but the convergence signal (2) and phase suggest this is an early-stage, leading-edge dynamic—the ground is wobbling but little distress sits behind it yet. No figure is unavailable; all readings are present, though the materiality is immaterial given the minimal distressed CRE dollars.

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; 243,002 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.”

Distress Trend — is this market turning?Track it quarter by quarter →
Realized distress is FLAT — 0.0% now (2026-07), +0.0pp 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 7 regional and local banks that gather deposits here could write roughly

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 $115M of construction committed and not yet
advanced, of which $101M
comes out of the room above, leaving $357M,
with 5 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 $15M 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.

* 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 2026) — 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 —
315 banks holding $263.8B 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 Stockton-Lodi, CA have the capacity to refinance its maturing CRE?
Stockton-Lodi reads as slack: the CMBS maturing within 24 months is $92.0mm across 6 maturing loans, against $457.2mm of room before committed draws and $356.6mm after $115.2mm of committed draws, giving a wall_to_room of 0.26 and a wall_to_room_before_committed_draws of 0.20 — so the visible maturity load is well covered by the 7 banks_qualifying in this metro, against banks_excluded_here of 0. That said, treat the ratio as an upper bound on how much local banks would have to absorb, since the wall is cmbs_upb only ($418.0mm) rather than the metro's whole maturity load, and room is a deposit-footprint proxy for lending capacity.

Compared against a median wall-to-room ratio of
0.24 across the ranked metros.
0.26 is ABOVE the median of 0.24, so this metro is MORE strained than the typical ranked metro
130 of 275, counting from the MOST strained — a LOWER rank number means MORE strain
Room is what regional and community banks could still write before the SR 06-26 concentration line, after deducting construction draws already committed. Deposit footprint is a proxy for lending footprint, not a measurement of it.
The most extreme ratios belong to the smallest metros.
The wall is the CMBS balance maturing within 24 months — the maturing debt this platform can see, not the metro's whole maturity load. Every ratio is an upper bound on how much of it local banks would have to absorb.
A high ratio is as often an exclusion artifact as a credit event. Banks whose deposits do not indicate where they lend (nationals, card and charter banks) are excluded from the room, so a metro served mainly by those reads strained while its credit is simply invisible here.

What has actually happened on the ground in Stockton-Lodi, CA recently?
Over the trailing 365 days, the ground-level reading for Stockton-Lodi, CA shows 4 store closures and 11 WARN notices, with 795 jobs affected across those notices — a figure that is a floor, since notices stating no headcount are counted but contribute zero jobs. CRE-likely bankruptcy filings tied to this metro's collateral come to 61, though this is a state proxy rather than a metro-native count, so it should not be read as activity occurring within the metro itself.

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.
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').
