What changed in 2024
CUNY Hunter 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.
This is a change in reported incidents, not a measure of individual safety. Enrollment, reporting practice, and category coverage can affect the count.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 NY 4-year peers in this comparison, CUNY Hunter College is larger than 86% and safer-reporting than 67% - the larger, 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.

Enrollment scale
How campus size shapes the safety figures
With 22,538 enrolled students, CUNY Hunter College is the 174th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,411 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Syracuse University (4.60/1k); CUNY Bernard M Baruch College (0.05/1k); St. John's University-New York (1.50/1k); Binghamton University (8.93/1k); Stony Brook University (2.62/1k); Cornell University (4.22/1k); University at Albany (5.24/1k); Rochester Institute of Technology (3.10/1k). The score above normalizes 2024 Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students, so compare it with similarly sized campuses instead of treating a higher raw count as evidence that a campus is less safe (Indiana University-Indianapolis is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at CUNY Hunter College fell from 5 to 4 (-20%). The decrease shows up in Fondling (5 to 4).
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 CUNY Hunter College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 2 Clery Act categories here: Fondling and Rape. Fondling accounts for most of them.
The remaining 9 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 CUNY Hunter College sits on price and outcomes
At $2,984, CUNY Hunter College's reported average net price is among the lowest reported prices among 326 New York colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $17,940.

- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $1,029, while those above $110,000 record $12,259 - roughly 11.9 times as much. A published average of $2,984 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 $50,414 - about 16.9 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly.
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.
