What actually gets reported at Coastal Bend College
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Burglary.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Fondling 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 Coastal Bend College sits on price and outcomes
At $4,237, Coastal Bend College's reported average net price is among the lowest reported prices among 337 Texas colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $18,267.
- $4,237
- average net price
- $18,267
- Texas median
- $6,840
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $3,175, while those above $110,000 record $10,015 - roughly 3.2 times as much. A published average of $4,237 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 $29,547 - about 7.0 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. Just 14% complete within six years. A completion rate this low means the typical enrolled student leaves without the credential, and cost figures should be read in that light.
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.
