Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 NC 4-year peers in this comparison, Brevard College is larger than 47% and safer-reporting than 53% - the smaller, safer-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 Brevard College fell from 4 to 2 (-50%). The decrease shows up in Burglary (4 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 Brevard College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 2 Clery Act categories here: Burglary and Aggravated Assault. Burglary accounts for most of them.
The remaining 9 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Fondling, Incest and Motor Vehicle Theft. 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 Brevard College sits on price and outcomes
At $23,509, Brevard College's reported average net price is cheaper than 83% among 145 North Carolina colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $14,086.
- $23,509
- average net price
- $14,086
- North Carolina median
- 1.4×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $9,469
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $19,294 for families reporting under $30,000 against $28,763 above $110,000, a difference of $9,469. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $23,509 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median earnings six years after entry ($34,401) are less than 1.5 years of the reported net price. That is a thin margin, and it is the figure worth pressing the school on before enrolling.
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.
