Whiskers show the 10th–90th percentile, the box shows the middle half, and the dot marks this bank. For directional metrics, deep red marks the unfavorable endpoint and teal marks the favorable endpoint after applying registry polarity. Neutral metrics use a blue ramp, are ordered from lower to higher reported value, and carry no favorable interpretation. Group membership is FFIEC-published. Expanded distributions use the site’s registered Call Report formula; a displayed FFIEC percentile is used only where the formulas align.
