Deposit HHI
see the caveat below
Read the deposit HHI here with care. Live Oak Banking Company books 55.9% of this county’s SOD deposits from 1 of 55 branch offices (1.8% of them). The Fed calls this pattern central booking. The deposit HHI here reads 3,520, the branch-count HHI 757. 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 unconcentrated on branches (757) and highly concentrated on deposits (3,520).
