Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 GA 4-year peers in this comparison, Georgia Gwinnett College is larger than 89% and safer-reporting than 42% - 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 Georgia Gwinnett College rose from 7 to 13 (+86%). The increase shows up in Fondling (3 to 7), Burglary (0 to 3) and Robbery (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Aggravated Assault (1 to 0) and Rape (3 to 2).
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 Georgia Gwinnett College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 5 Clery Act categories here: Fondling, Rape, Burglary, Robbery and Aggravated Assault.
The remaining 6 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Incest, Motor Vehicle Theft and Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter. 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 Georgia Gwinnett College sits on price and outcomes
At $15,844, Georgia Gwinnett College's reported average net price is cheaper than 48% among 124 Georgia colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $16,482.

- average net price

- Georgia median
- 1.8×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $6,630
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $14,356 for families reporting under $30,000 against $20,986 above $110,000, a difference of $6,630. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $15,844 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Six-year median earnings of $36,756 run about 2.3 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.
