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 actually gets reported at Central Penn College
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Fondling.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Burglary 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.

Cost context
Where Central Penn College sits on price and outcomes
At $18,953, Central Penn College's reported average net price is cheaper than 42% among 261 Pennsylvania colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $19,954.
- $18,953
- average net price

- Pennsylvania median
- 1.8×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $7,797
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $15,859 for families reporting under $30,000 against $23,656 above $110,000, a difference of $7,797. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $18,953 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Six-year median earnings of $40,798 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.
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.
