Each credit union is counted once, in the state of its headquarters; its members may live in other states, so members per 100 residents can exceed the real share of residents who belong to a credit union. Population: U.S. Census Bureau, American Community Survey. FCU — federal credit union, chartered by the NCUA; state-chartered credit unions are federally insured by the NCUA too.
