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.

Office Holds Its Own in L.A., and the Filed Record Isn't Moving
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim carries $17.5B of CMBS across 647 loans, and the biggest book by far is office at $7.0B. The notable part is how it grades out: office distress here runs 5.4%, less than half the 11.3% national office rate. The pressure sits elsewhere in the stack — multifamily, an $1.3B book, prints an 8.4% distress rate against a 7.6% national mark, and industrial carries the elevated read at 3.8%. Retail, mixed-use and hospitality all sit under their national comparables. Median DSCR across the metro is 1.98.
The filed record is flat. The distress rate stands at 3.8% as of July 2026 — 3.9% on the current CMBS book, or roughly $0.7B distressed — and it hasn't moved. The heaviest maturity load lands in 2029, when $4.4B comes due at a 2.0% distress rate. The nearer wall is smaller but hotter: $2.6B matures in 2027 carrying a 5.5% distress rate, the highest of the tracked maturity years, with $2.2B in 2028 and $2.8B in 2031 behind it.
On the ground, the past year brought 135 store closures and 267 layoff notices totaling 20,910 jobs. Metro unemployment is 5.0%, down 0.8 points year over year, though office-using employment has slipped 0.8%. Among the 51 banks with local exposure, six are flagged distressed and another 15 sit on early warning.

How much CRE distress is there in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA right now?
In Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA, all four vetted distress signals are elevated right now, with 4 of 4 legs reading hot and all 6 possible pairwise comparisons agreeing there is distress — no pairs are quiet and none disagree.
Store closures are the standout: the metro ranks 1st of 392 metros by count with 133 closures, at a rate of 2.45 per 100,000 jobs, though that rate rank is 126th — the level is driven by the metro's enormous job base. WARN layoff notices are also 1st of 386 with 439 notices, a 0.33% share of employment. Bank CRE over the noncurrent line sits at $14,276.8 million (11.12% of allocated CRE, 4th of 393 by count), and securitized loans in special servicing total 39 rows (3.71% of the tracked balance, 4th of 335). All four legs are elevated regardless of whether you rank by raw count or rate, with no blind legs and no size-driven readings to discount.
The unanimous agreement across all six pairs is structurally meaningful: closures and WARN both point to real distress at the tenant level, bank and CMBS stress both show up on the lender side, and even the bank-CMBS pair — two genuinely different books that often diverge — agrees here. No measurement caveat undermines the picture; the only nuance is that the bank leg is allocated by branch deposits rather than confirmed at the property, but the CMBS leg, which is property-located, corroborates it.

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; 5,436,274 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 3.9% distressed where its own property mix predicts 7.3% — $591M 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. 2 of 8 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.

Distress Trend — is this market turning?Track it quarter by quarter →
Realized distress is FLAT — 3.8% now (2026-07), +0.8pp 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.

Bank Door — what the local bank sector could absorbSee it on every loan’s exit read →
$4.6B of CMBS matures here within two years.
The 57 regional and local banks that gather deposits here could write roughly
$4.7B more CRE before the 300% supervisory line, so the maturing balance is
0.97× that room.
The median metro sits at 0.12×.

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 $3.7B of construction committed and not yet
advanced, of which $1.9B
comes out of the room above, leaving $2.7B,
with 30 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 $1.8B 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 06-26 draws a second line at 100% of capital for construction and land:
3 of 57
are past it on drawn balances alone, and
4 more cross it
once their own commitments fund.
3% of the room above sits at banks we could not
match to a commitment filing; they are left out of this deduction rather than assumed to have promised nothing.

The large figure is supervisory CRE over total risk-based capital —
construction, multifamily and non-owner-occupied nonfarm nonresidential. That is the book SR 06-26 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 2025) — 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 06-26, 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 —

still be inside the line, with real room to lend; both are shown so the gap is visible rather than surprising.
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 Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA have the capacity to refinance its maturing CRE?
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA ranks 40 of 270 counting from the most strained, with a wall-to-room ratio of 1.71 against a metro median of 0.20 — above the median, so this metro reads as more strained than the typical ranked metro. The $4.59bn maturing from 190 loans is measured against $2.69bn of room after committed draws, yielding room of $2.69bn against maturing debt of $4.59bn; before those draws the room would have been $4.72bn and the ratio 0.97. Only 57 banks qualify here against 23 excluded, so the high ratio may reflect an exclusion artifact as much as a credit signal, and because the wall is CMBS-only it is an upper bound on what local banks would have to absorb, not the metro's whole maturity load. On these figures the banks lending in this metro do not appear to have the capacity to refinance its maturing CRE without absorbing more than their remaining room.

Compared against a median wall-to-room ratio of
0.20 across the ranked metros.
1.71 is ABOVE the median of 0.20, so this metro is MORE strained than the typical ranked metro
40 of 270, counting from the MOST strained — a LOWER rank number means MORE strain
{'room_is_a_proxy': '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.', 'ratio_is_not_size': 'The most extreme ratios belong to the smallest metros. Read maturing_bal_mm beside the ratio — the map sizes bubbles by the wall, not the strain, for exactly this reason.', 'wall_is_cmbs_only': "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.", 'exclusion_artifact': '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. Check banks_qualifying against banks_excluded_here, and explained_by_exclusion.'}

What has actually happened on the ground in Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA recently?
Over the trailing 365 days, Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA shows 267 warn notices with 20,910 jobs affected, alongside 135 store closures, while CRE bankruptcies register 3 — a figure that is a STATE PROXY, counting CRE-likely filings in the states this metro's collateral sits in rather than a metro-native count.
The figures behind this answer
- Store closures
- 135
- WARN layoff notices
- 267
- Jobs on those notices
- 20,910
- CRE-related bankruptcies
- 3
- Window, in days
- 365
STATE PROXY — bankruptcy filings carry the filer's state, not the property's location, so this counts CRE-likely filings in the states this metro's collateral sits in. It is not a metro-native count.
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').

What this page can’t do
Everything above is a snapshot — one market, as it stands today, and
it’s yours to read. What a snapshot can’t tell you is when it moves: which loan slipped a DSCR band
this month, which bank’s early-warning rank crossed into the top quartile, which submarket started turning
while the headline number still looked fine. Distress doesn’t announce itself on the day you happen to check.
