Deposit HHI
see the caveat below
Read the deposit HHI here with care. Independence Bank books 72.6% of this county’s SOD deposits from 1 of 4 branch offices (25.0% of them). The Fed calls this pattern central booking. The deposit HHI here reads 5,519, the branch-count HHI 2,500. These pages lead with the branch measure, which central booking cannot move.

Concentration, 19942025

Branch-count HHI squares each institution’s share of the county’s branch offices; deposit HHI squares its share of county deposits. The bands are the 2010 Horizontal Merger Guidelines classification, the dashed line the 1,800 level above which the Federal Reserve reviews a merger centrally. In 2025 this market is moderately concentrated on branches (2,500) and highly concentrated on deposits (5,519).

Who holds the deposits, 2025

Every institution with a branch in the county, ranked by deposits booked here. Both shares are shown because they are the two indices above: squaring and summing the deposit column gives the deposit HHI, the branch column the branch-count HHI.
