Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College rose from 0 to 2. The increase shows up in Aggravated Assault (0 to 2).
This describes reported incidents, not crime. Clery counts move with reporting policy, awareness campaigns and how a campus staffs its security authorities, so a rise can reflect better capture of reports and a fall can reflect worse capture. One year of movement at a single campus is not a trend.
What actually gets reported at Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Aggravated Assault.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Burglary, Fondling and Incest. Under the Clery Act that zero is an affirmative report that nothing in the category occurred, not an absence of data, which is why the table below lists those rows rather than dropping them.
Counts describe incidents reported under the Clery Act for the on-campus geography. Reporting practice varies between institutions, so counts are not a direct measure of relative safety.

Where Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College sits on price and outcomes
At $11,602, Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College's reported average net price is cheaper than 42% among 145 North Carolina colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $14,086.

Price barely responds to income at this institution. Families under $30,000 report $11,491 and those above $110,000 report $12,786, a difference of just $1,295. Where the curve is this flat, need-based aid is doing little of the work and the sticker figure is close to what most families actually pay.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $32,630, roughly 2.8 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish. Only 36% complete within six years. Most students here do not finish, which is the single most important number on this page for anyone weighing the cost.
Average net price reflects grant and scholarship aid for aided students, not a personal offer. Earnings cover former students who received federal aid; neither measure predicts an individual's outcome.
