Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 31 IA 2-year peers in this comparison, Hawkeye Community College is larger than 83% and safer-reporting than 20% - 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 Hawkeye Community College rose from 0 to 2. The increase shows up in Burglary (0 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 Hawkeye Community College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 3 Clery Act categories here: Aggravated Assault, Burglary and Fondling.
The remaining 8 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 Hawkeye Community College sits on price and outcomes
At $9,649, Hawkeye Community College's reported average net price is cheaper than 7% among 68 Iowa colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $17,813.

- average net price

- Iowa median
- 3.3×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $5,573
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $7,443 for families reporting under $30,000 against $13,016 above $110,000, a difference of $5,573. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $9,649 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Six years after enrolling, the median former student who received federal aid reports $39,099 - about 4.1 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. Only 38% complete within six years. Most students here do not finish, which is the single most important number on this page for anyone weighing the cost.
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.
