Loan delinquency ratesFRED
Share of balances 30+ days past due at all US commercial banks, by loan type (updated quarterly). Rising delinquencies are an early sign of household stress. Heads up: this is the all-banks 30+ day rate (cards run ~3%). The 7-8% figures in the headlines are a different cut - smaller banks outside the top 100, or the NY Fed's 90+ day "serious delinquency" transition.
