Cape Coral-Fort Myers, FL

Cape Coral-Fort Myers, FL is showing no elevated distress across any of the four tracked legs. Store closures sit at 5 closures (1.95 per 100,000 jobs, ranking 83rd by count and 176th by rate among 392 metros); WARN layoff notices total 5 (0.04% of employed persons, ranking 96th by count and 210th by rate among 386 metros); bank CRE over the noncurrent line is $304.4mm (7.54% of allocated CRE, ranking 91st by count and 104th by rate among 393 metros); and securitized loans in special servicing is $0 (0.0%, ranking 220th by both count and rate among 335 metros). All six pairwise comparisons agree as quiet — 6 of 6 pairs are quiet, 0 are elevated, and 0 disagree — with no blind legs or unadjudicated pairs. The CMBS reading is exact (zero non-current rows), while the bank figure's allocation method (only 12.6% of dollars sit at single-metro lenders) carries a structural caveat. Overall: no distress signal in any feed, with the strongest agreement coming from the pairs that share no population, such as the bank-to-CMBS comparison.

Cape Coral-Fort Myers, FL, is in a watch phase, reflecting an isolated signal rather than a convergence — the convergence reading is 0, and no individual distress signals are currently elevated. Distressed lender CRE exposure sits at $304.4mm, but the distressed bank assets figure is 0, and the share of bank CRE at the 90th percentile is 12.4% — not a material trigger per the assessment. CMBS special servicing shows no stress, with $0.0mm in special servicing UPB, representing 0.0% of metro UPB.

Readings that are unavailable or indeterminate include the 90th percentile of distressed bank assets (stated as 0 but not a directional count), as well as any signal-level percentile for bank allocation (12.6% is given but not tied to a distress percentile). No store-closure, WARN-notice, or CMBS-loan counts are given as percentages, and the phase_sequence is explicitly "no reading," so the overall distress trajectory cannot be inferred. The only unavailable specific metric is the 90th percentile of bank CRE at risk — though that is given as 12.4%, the figure is provided, but its percentile context is not otherwise defined beyond the label. In short, while distress signals are present, they are neither credit-material nor ground-heavy, and no elevated signals are confirmed.

Cape Coral-Fort Myers shows a wall-to-room ratio of 0.36 against a maturing CMBS balance of $77.5mm across 3 maturing loans, versus regional/community bank room of $212.4mm after committed draws ($373.6mm before committed draws, with committed draws of $173.3mm). That ratio sits above the median of 0.20 and ranks 98 of 270 counting from the most strained, so the metro is more strained than the typical ranked metro, though the band is slack; however, this reading comes with 6 banks excluded here against 11 banks qualifying, and the distressed share is 0.0%. Note the wall is the CMBS balance maturing within 24 months — not the metro's whole maturity load — so the ratio is an upper bound on how much of it local banks would have to absorb, and room is a proxy built from deposit footprint rather than a measurement of lending footprint. The reading on whether local banks can fully absorb the maturing CRE is therefore not available from these figures alone.

Over the trailing 365 days in Cape Coral-Fort Myers, FL, the verified activity on the ground is modest: 8 store closures and 2 WARN notices, with 154 jobs affected. Note that the closures figure counts only approved rows matched ZIP to CBSA, and the jobs figure is a floor because notices stating no headcount contribute 0 jobs. On the bankruptcy side, the reading is a state proxy rather than a metro-native count — 4 CRE-likely filings in the states this metro's collateral sits in — so it should not be read as Cape Coral-Fort Myers-specific.
