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 Irvine Valley College rose from 1 to 3 (+200%). The increase shows up in Aggravated Assault (0 to 1) and Burglary (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 Irvine Valley College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 4 Clery Act categories here: Motor Vehicle Theft, Aggravated Assault, Burglary and Fondling.
The remaining 7 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter and 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 Irvine Valley College sits on price and outcomes
At $2,090, Irvine Valley College's reported average net price is among the lowest reported prices among 492 California colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $20,161.
- $2,090
- average net price
- $20,161
- California median
- 5.4×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $8,698
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $734, while those above $110,000 record $9,432 - roughly 12.9 times as much. A published average of $2,090 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 $35,124 - about 16.8 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. 57% complete within six years, so roughly 43% leave without the credential - and those students still carry whatever they paid.
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.
