Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 22 KY 2-year peers in this comparison, Jefferson Community and Technical College is larger than 100% and safer-reporting than 5% - 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 Jefferson Community and Technical College rose from 3 to 8 (+167%). The increase shows up in Arson (1 to 4), Burglary (0 to 2) and Motor Vehicle Theft (0 to 2). Falling over the same period: Aggravated Assault (1 to 0) and Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter (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 Jefferson Community and Technical College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 6 Clery Act categories here: Arson, Burglary, Motor Vehicle Theft, Aggravated Assault, Fondling and Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter.
The remaining 5 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Incest, Negligent Manslaughter, Rape 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 Jefferson Community and Technical College sits on price and outcomes
At $6,376, Jefferson Community and Technical College's reported average net price is cheaper than 22% among 79 Kentucky colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $16,512.

- average net price

- Kentucky median
- 2.8×
- six-year earnings to median debt

- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $5,441, while those above $110,000 record $12,227 - roughly 2.2 times as much. A published average of $6,376 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 $32,950 - about 5.2 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. Only 33% 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.
