Cabrillo College decreased from 5 to 4 reported on-campus incidents between the 2023 and 2024 reporting years in the U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 CA 2-year peers in this comparison, Cabrillo College is larger than 53% and safer-reporting than 36% - 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 Cabrillo College fell from 5 to 4 (-20%). The increase shows up in Fondling (0 to 1) and Rape (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Arson (1 to 0), Motor Vehicle Theft (1 to 0) and Robbery (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 Cabrillo College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Arson, Aggravated Assault, Fondling, Motor Vehicle Theft, Rape and Robbery.
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 Cabrillo College sits on price and outcomes
At $15,843, Cabrillo College's reported average net price is cheaper than 39% among 492 California colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $20,161.

- California median
- 2.4×
- six-year earnings to median debt
Six-year median earnings of $34,990 run about 2.2 times the annual net price. The margin is real but narrow, so how many years of price a student actually pays matters a great deal here. Only 38% 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.
