How The Credit Unions Rank



These 29 San Diego County-headquartered credit unions are ranked on Return on Assets (ROA), the most widely used figure for tracking a lender’s performance. A return of 1 percent or more is considered very good. Unusual circumstances, such as being a new credit union or having a large loan go south, can cause a temporary decline.
