The CMBS properties our stress model flags here, plus recent store closures and layoffs. Stressed is a wider net than distressed — the distressed figure above counts only loans already in special servicing or 60+ days delinquent, while these dots also include performing loans facing maturity or coverage pressure. Property dots sit at the center of their ZIP code, not the building — they show where stress concentrates, not which asset. Closures and layoffs are pinned to address where we have it.

A clean book in Harrisburg, with the real test parked in 2029
Harrisburg-Carlisle carries $492M of CMBS across 28 loans, and as of the July 2026 filed record not a dollar of it is distressed. That is a rate of 0.0%, flat in the filed record and a notch below the national backdrop — Retail here, the metro's heaviest exposure at $313M, shows no distress against a 2.6% national retail rate. Median DSCR across the book sits at a comfortable 1.67.
The weight in this book is not a delinquency problem but a calendar one. The heaviest maturity load lands in 2029, when $157M — 32% of the entire book — comes due, with lighter clusters stacked across 2028, 2031 and 2032. None of those vintages carries distress today, but the concentration is where the attention belongs.
Underneath the clean servicer tape, the ground is not perfectly still: 6 store closures have been logged across the metro in the past year, with no layoff notices filed. For a book this heavily weighted toward Retail, those closures are the signal worth watching even as the filed record holds at zero.

How much CRE distress is there in Harrisburg-Carlisle, PA right now?
In Harrisburg-Carlisle, PA, one of the four legs is elevated right now — 6 closures at 2.13 per 100k jobs — while layoff notices (WARN) read 0 notices at 0% and bank CRE at lenders over the noncurrent line stands at $215.7mm, or 3.19%. Securitized loans in special servicing cannot be read here: the one-leg reading is unavailable because that leg is blind, so its low number is an absence of measurement, not a quiet signal. The pairs split 0 with both legs elevated, 1 with both legs quiet, 2 where the legs disagree, and 3 that cannot be read because a leg is blind, out of 6 pairs of legs compared.

1 of four legs elevated
blind: securitized loans in special servicing
one metro, four independent feeds, each on its own denominator
124 of 447 metros have at least one blind leg and 54 are blind on all four. Those 54 are the same metros the board's map cannot place and the metro resolver cannot name: one ZIP-to-CBSA crosswalk boundary, showing up three ways.
Elevation is computed on the COUNT, over a flat threshold, which is a size filter. New York is 2nd of 392 by store closures and 264th of the same 392 by closures per job — both true, and which one you lead with decides what the reader believes.
Where two legs disagree, that is usually a fact about WHICH mechanism is running, not an error in either feed and not a worse metro.
A leg with no denominator, or whose numerator cannot be measured, reads LOW and means nothing. Each leg publishes a measurement state (allocated, floor, measured, no denominator, no rate, not measurable) for that reason.
a blind leg is not a quiet one — securitized loans in special servicing cannot be read here. Their low numbers are an absence of MEASUREMENT.
Store closures: divided by 281,361 jobs
— all metro jobs, QCEW annual average — a SIZE normaliser, not a matched population: the feed spans retail, food service and pharmacy and no single QCEW sector covers it. The MATCHED read sits beside it as this leg's second reading (trailing 365 days to today).
Layoff notices (WARN): divided by 309,488 employed
— employed persons, BLS LAUS, not seasonally adjusted (trailing 365 days to today).
Bank CRE at lenders over the noncurrent line: divided by $6,765.5 mm
— bank CRE allocated to this metro by branch deposits (2026-06-30).
Securitized loans in special servicing: divided by $492.0 mm
— current balance on the non-pari-passu rows of this tape — the trust's slice, not the whole loan, on both sides of the ratio (2026-09-29).

Which distress signals are elevated in Harrisburg-Carlisle, PA, and which cannot be read?
In Harrisburg-Carlisle, PA, the elevated distress signal is closures, while the CRE-credit picture stays obscured: the reading on CMBS in special servicing is $0.0mm and the share of this metro's CMBS balance in special servicing is 0.0%, but these reflect 1 special-servicing row carrying no balance rather than an absence of distress, so the securitized side cannot be read; on the bank side, bank CRE at risk at the 90th percentile reads 43.5% against bank CRE lent into this metro of $6.77bn, with CRE at lenders over the noncurrent line at $215.7mm, assets at those lenders at $0.00bn, and the share of bank CRE needing no branch-deposit allocation at 2.8%, and the legs agreeing read 1.

the ground is deteriorating, and whether CRE credit has been hit here CANNOT BE READ: not one of this metro's 1 special-servicing rows carries a balance — the securitized side is invisible here, which is not the same as quiet
little to no distressed CRE dollars behind the signals; and the securitized side is NOT MEASURED here — all 1 loans in special servicing sit on tape rows carrying no balance, so the $0 is a gap in the tape, not an absence of distress
the ground is wobbling (closures / layoffs) but little CRE-credit distress sits behind it yet — a real-economy signal, not (yet) a CRE-credit event

Jobs & Demand — the labor market under the collateralWatch it change →
Every other zone on this page reads the credit — what the loan is doing.
This one reads the demand underneath it. Office jobs pay office rent;
office rent services the office loan. When the jobs go, the DSCR follows — but not for another year or two.
That lag is the whole point of looking here.

Monthly metro unemployment (BLS LAUS) — the freshest labor signal there is,
about six weeks behind. Read the direction, not the level: a 4% metro that is rising and a 6% metro that is
falling are not telling you the same thing.
Jobs by CRE-relevant sector · 2024
Annual employment by sector (BLS QCEW, 2024; 281,361 jobs in the metro).
QCEW lags — it is the structural read, not the current one, and we pair it with the monthly unemployment above on purpose.
Office-using sums five supersectors; where BLS withholds any one of them for
disclosure, we show nothing rather than a number we know is too low — so a missing sector here means
“suppressed at the source,” not “zero.”
Sector Heat — CMBS distress rate by property type (metro vs national)See the loans behind the bar →
This metro's CMBS runs 0.0% distressed where its own property mix predicts 3.3% — $16M less than this book would carry at the rate each property type runs elsewhere in the country, dollar-weighted and excluding this metro. The gap is measured; the cause is not. 0 of 1 property types here run a higher distress rate than the national average for that type (the tick on each bar).
Elimination — does the gap survive a control?
Each row re-prices this metro's book on a finer cell — its own property types, then those types split by loan size, then by vintage — always at the rate that cell runs elsewhere in the country, dollar-weighted. A gap that shrinks toward zero is explained by the control; one that stays has ruled it out. What is measured is what survives, not a cause.

Realized distress is FLAT — 0.0% now (2026-07), +0.0pp over the year.
Same definition as the cards above — distressed means in special servicing or 60+ days delinquent, dollar-weighted — on a different clock. The cards are today’s tape; this is the disclosed history panel, quarter by quarter, so you can read direction rather than level. Trusts file monthly, so a quarter is usually well covered within weeks of opening and the newest one shown is normally the current one; it is withheld only when its filed book falls below 60% of recent quarters.
Share of the metro’s CMBS in special servicing or 60+ days delinquent, by quarter — a firmer, backward-looking read. A loan under 1.0x DSCR that is still paying is not counted here.

$80M of CMBS matures here within two years.
The 13 regional and local banks that gather deposits here could write roughly

0.26× that room.

The room above is already part-sold. Construction lending is a promise drawn
down over two or three years, and the undrawn part is an obligation the bank cannot decline while the borrower performs
— every one of those dollars lands in the same CRE book the 300% line governs. These banks
have $515M of construction committed and not yet
advanced, of which $92M
comes out of the room above, leaving $213M,
with 5 banks
whose entire remaining room is spoken for.
A bank with no room contributes zero here, never a negative one — capacity does not net
across balance sheets — so $422M of what has
been promised is not deducted at all, because there is nothing left to deduct it from. On today’s
capital that is funding already contracted which would cross the line as it draws.
SR 07-1 draws a second line at 100% of capital for construction and land:
1 of 13
is past it on drawn balances alone, and
2 more cross it
once their own commitments fund.

Not counted — 12 banks with deposits here
These hold deposits in this metro but are left out of the capacity above, because for them deposit location stops indicating where they lend — or they do not lend CRE at all. Real money that could refinance here is deliberately not counted.

The large figure is supervisory CRE over total risk-based capital —
construction, multifamily and non-owner-occupied nonfarm nonresidential. That is the book SR 07-1 draws its
300% line against, and it is what the red coloring and the room contributed are both measured on.
Total beneath it adds owner-occupied CRE — lending to a business on
its own premises — which the guidance deliberately leaves out. A bank can sit well above 300% on total CRE and
still be inside the line, with real room to lend; both are shown so the gap is visible rather than surprising.
How to read this. It is not whether any particular loan can refinance — a borrower also reaches
national banks, life companies, agencies and debt funds. It is how much of this metro’s maturing volume the local
bank sector could absorb if it were the only door.
Banks are placed by deposit share (FDIC Summary of Deposits, June 2026) — a proxy for
where they lend, not a measurement; call reports carry no collateral geography. Room = 3× total risk-based capital less CRE held
(SR 07-1, the capital base the rule names — not book equity), from Q2 2026 call reports, apportioned by that share.
Committed construction comes from FFIEC Schedule RC-L as filed at 2026-06-30 —
the undrawn half of loans already written, which the balance sheet above does not show.
Banks in more than 5 states, single-branch bookers and banks that do not lend CRE are excluded —

Banks are matched to their HQ metro (a proxy for footprint). Noncurrent CRE = CRE-balance-weighted blend of multifamily / nonresidential / construction noncurrent (distress already arrived). Early Warning is a validated leading signal — the bank’s 30-89 early-delinquency rank among all CRE lenders this quarter, which has predicted ~2.3× forward CRE distress. Per-bank flags are on a plan.
Do the banks lending in Harrisburg-Carlisle, PA have the capacity to refinance its maturing CRE?
In Harrisburg-Carlisle, PA, the maturing CMBS wall of $80.1mm across 5 loans sits against local bank room after committed draws of $213.5mm, giving a capacity band of slack and a wall-to-room ratio of 0.38 — comfortably below the level at which refinancing capacity would be in question, though above the median ranked metro. The cushion is real but narrower once construction commitments are counted: room before committed draws was $305.9mm against $514.7mm of committed construction draws, and the ratio before committed draws is 0.26. Total CMBS balance here is $492.0mm with a distressed share of 0.0%, and the metro ranks 102 of 275 counting from the most strained. One caveat on the bank count: 13 qualifying local banks are measured while 6 are excluded from the calculation, so the room figure reflects only the deposit-footprint lenders this platform can see.

Compared against a median wall-to-room ratio of
0.24 across the ranked metros.
0.38 is ABOVE the median of 0.24, so this metro is MORE strained than the typical ranked metro
102 of 275, counting from the MOST strained — a LOWER rank number means MORE strain
Room is what regional and community banks could still write before the SR 06-26 concentration line, after deducting construction draws already committed. Deposit footprint is a proxy for lending footprint, not a measurement of it.
The most extreme ratios belong to the smallest metros.
The wall is the CMBS balance maturing within 24 months — the maturing debt this platform can see, not the metro's whole maturity load. Every ratio is an upper bound on how much of it local banks would have to absorb.
A high ratio is as often an exclusion artifact as a credit event. Banks whose deposits do not indicate where they lend (nationals, card and charter banks) are excluded from the room, so a metro served mainly by those reads strained while its credit is simply invisible here.

What has actually happened on the ground in Harrisburg-Carlisle, PA recently?
Over the trailing 365 days, Harrisburg-Carlisle, PA has seen 6 store closures, with 0 WARN layoff notices and 0 CRE-related bankruptcies, so 0 jobs on those notices — though the reading on jobs affected is a floor, since notices stating no headcount count but contribute nothing. The CRE-related bankruptcy figure is a state-level proxy rather than a metro-native count, so it should not be read as activity located in the metro itself.

STATE PROXY — a court case counts in its filing district and an SEC 8-K in the filer's state, not where the property is, so this counts CRE-likely filings in the states this metro's collateral sits in. It is not a metro-native count. Each court case is counted once even when both PACER and CourtListener carry it. A court case's state is its filing district; an SEC 8-K or news item carries the filer's state. Coverage widened to both court feeds on 2026-09-16, so counts before and after that date are not comparable.
affected_employees is nullable — notices that state no headcount are counted but contribute 0 jobs, so this is a floor.
Closures are matched ZIP -> CBSA and only APPROVED rows count (a pending, machine-extracted row is not yet a closure). This mirrors the Metro Pulse page, not the convergence board — the board applies neither filter and counts higher. Layoffs take the same ZIP -> CBSA and review treatment, and a WARN notice counts if it affects >= 10 people or does not state a headcount (a NULL is not 'fewer than 10').
