Deposit HHI
see the caveat below
Read the deposit HHI here with care. First-Citizens Bank & Trust Company books 63.7% of this county’s SOD deposits from 19 of 242 branch offices (7.9% of them). The Fed calls this pattern central booking. The deposit HHI here reads 4,221, the branch-count HHI 687. 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 (687) and highly concentrated on deposits (4,221).
