What changed in 2024
Azusa Pacific University increased from 31 to 40 reported on-campus incidents between the 2023 and 2024 reporting years in the U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey.
This is a change in reported incidents, not a measure of individual safety. Enrollment, reporting practice, and category coverage can affect the count.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 CA 4-year peers in this comparison, Azusa Pacific University is larger than 67% and safer-reporting than 3% - the larger, higher-reporting quadrant. Axes are within-sample percentiles so outliers share the same frame; a higher safety percentile means a lower Clery incidents-per-1,000 rate.

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 Azusa Pacific University rose from 31 to 40 (+29%). The increase shows up in Burglary (23 to 27), Rape (0 to 4) and Arson (3 to 5). Falling over the same period: Aggravated Assault (2 to 0).
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 Azusa Pacific University
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Arson, Motor Vehicle Theft, Rape, Aggravated Assault, Fondling and Robbery. Burglary accounts for most of them.
The remaining 4 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Negligent Manslaughter and Statutory Rape. 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.

Cost context
Where Azusa Pacific University sits on price and outcomes
At $22,212, Azusa Pacific University's reported average net price is cheaper than 56% among 492 California colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $20,161.

- California median

- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $15,781 for families reporting under $30,000 against $27,193 above $110,000, a difference of $11,412. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $22,212 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $56,794, roughly 2.6 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
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.
