Peoria, IL is showing a mild but highly specific distress profile — not broad-based trouble, but a lender-side stress signal without an evident tenant or employment cause behind it. The bank CRE leg reads elevated, with $368.9mm of bank CRE at lenders over the noncurrent line as of 2026-03-31, a rate of 9.62% that ranks 72nd of 393 metros. That bank signal stands alone: store closures over the trailing 365 days sit at 2.04 per 100k jobs (rank 163rd of 392), and WARN layoff notices register zero (0.0% of employment), both quiet. The disagreement between bank stress and the quiet tenant/employment legs suggests the pressure is coming from construction or a rate reset rather than vacancy — no visible retail or workforce breakage is driving it. The securitized-loans-in-special-servicing reading is unavailable: the denominator cannot be measured here, with 0% of special-servicing rows carrying a balance, so that leg is blind and should not be read as evidence of distress or calm — it's an absence of measurement, not a quiet number. Overall, one of six signal pairs is both quiet, two disagree, and three are unadjudicated because a side is blind, so the honest takeaway is lender stress without a visible operating tail, and no confirmable signal from securitized capital.

For Peoria, IL, the elevated distress signal is in bank-distressed CRE, with 10.9% of bank CRE allocated and 6.5% at risk in the 90th percentile, alongside $368.9mm in distressed lender CRE and 1.4 billion in distressed bank assets. The CMBS special servicing reading is unavailable because, although 1 loan is in special servicing, its $0.0mm balance reflects a gap in the tape, not an absence of distress; consequently, the 0.0% share is not a true measure. No other signals are currently readable, and the overall phase is "watch" with no convergence.

In Peoria, IL, the banks lending here do appear to have the capacity to refinance the maturing CRE load: with banks_qualifying at 15 against only banks_excluded_here at 2, and excluded status not explaining the reading, the local footprint is visible rather than an exclusion artifact. The wall is small — maturing_loans of 1 and maturing_bal of $17.2mm — set against room_after_committed of $187.5mm (room_before_committed of $424.3mm, net of committed_draws of $258.5mm), giving a wall_to_room of 0.09, which is BELOW the median of 0.20, so this metro is LESS strained than the typical ranked metro, with the pre-committed ratio at 0.04 and distressed_share at 0.0%. One caution: the wall is CMBS only ($92.6mm of cmbs_upb) and room is a proxy for lending footprint, so the ratio is an upper bound, and at 196 of 270 counting from the MOST strained this is a slack-band metro rather than a capacity-constrained one.
Over the trailing 365, Peoria, IL has seen 4 store closures, 0 WARN notices, and 1 CRE-likely bankruptcy filing — the latter a STATE PROXY, since bankruptcy filings carry the filer's state rather than the property's location — with 0 jobs affected, a figure that is a floor because notices stating no headcount are counted but contribute 0 jobs.
