Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Idaho State University increased from 23 to 24 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.
See national reporting-year changesWhat changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Idaho State University rose from 23 to 24 (+4%). The increase shows up in Fondling (1 to 8), Burglary (10 to 13) and Motor Vehicle Theft (1 to 2). Falling over the same period: Rape (6 to 1), Aggravated Assault (3 to 0) and Arson (2 to 0).
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 Idaho State University
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 6 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Fondling, Rape, Aggravated Assault, Motor Vehicle Theft and Arson. Burglary accounts for most of them.
The remaining 5 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Negligent Manslaughter and Robbery. 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 Idaho State University sits on price and outcomes
At $12,193, Idaho State University's reported average net price is cheaper than 24% among 29 Idaho colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $18,788.

- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $10,593 for families reporting under $30,000 against $16,288 above $110,000, a difference of $5,695. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $12,193 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $41,377, roughly 3.4 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
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.
