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 Iowa Lakes Community College fell from 1 to 0 (-100%). The decrease shows up in Arson (1 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 Iowa Lakes Community College

Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 2 Clery Act categories here: Arson and Rape.

The remaining 9 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, 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 Iowa Lakes Community College sits on price and outcomes

See Iowa's cost ranking

reported income-bracket spread

Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $11,420 for families reporting under $30,000 against $17,325 above $110,000, a difference of $5,905. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $13,933 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.

Median reported earnings six years after entry are $37,209, roughly 2.7 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish. Only 36% 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.
