Campus size vs reported safety rate

Among 37 PA 2-year peers in this comparison, Bucks County Community College is larger than 89% and safer-reporting than 39% - 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 Bucks County Community College fell from 1 to 0 (-100%). The decrease shows up in Rape (1 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 Bucks County Community College

Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Rape.

The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Burglary and Fondling. 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 Bucks County Community College sits on price and outcomes

See Pennsylvania's cost ranking

At $6,389, Bucks County Community College's reported average net price is among the lowest reported prices among 261 Pennsylvania colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $19,954.

reported income-bracket spread

Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $3,725, while those above $110,000 record $11,581 - roughly 3.1 times as much. A published average of $6,389 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.

Six years after enrolling, the median former student who received federal aid reports $39,454 - about 6.2 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. Only 30% 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.
