Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 PA 4-year peers in this comparison, Keystone College is larger than 47% and safer-reporting than 42% - the smaller, 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.

What actually gets reported at Keystone College
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Burglary.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, 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 Keystone College sits on price and outcomes
At $22,051, Keystone College's reported average net price is cheaper than 58% among 261 Pennsylvania colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $19,954.
- $22,051
- average net price
- $19,954
- Pennsylvania median
- 1.4×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $8,346
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $21,925 for families reporting under $30,000 against $30,271 above $110,000, a difference of $8,346. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $22,051 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Six-year median earnings of $36,653 run about 1.7 times the annual net price. The margin is real but narrow, so how many years of price a student actually pays matters a great deal here.
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.
