Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 PA 2-year peers in this comparison, Delaware County Community College is larger than 86% and safer-reporting than 28% - 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 Delaware County Community College rose from 0 to 2. The increase shows up in Aggravated Assault (0 to 1) and Robbery (0 to 1).
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 Delaware County Community College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 2 Clery Act categories here: Aggravated Assault and Robbery.
The remaining 9 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Burglary, 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 Delaware County Community College sits on price and outcomes
At $6,576, Delaware 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.
- $6,576
- average net price
- $19,954
- Pennsylvania median
- 2.8×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $5,012
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $5,591, while those above $110,000 record $10,603 - roughly 1.9 times as much. A published average of $6,576 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 $37,658 - about 5.7 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. Just 22% 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.
