What changed in 2024
Lewis & Clark College was unchanged from 13 to 13 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.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 29 OR 4-year peers in this comparison, Lewis & Clark College is larger than 68% and safer-reporting than 25% - 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 Lewis & Clark College held level. The total is unchanged, but the mix behind it is not. Rising: Rape (2 to 4) and Fondling (7 to 8). Falling over the same period: Burglary (2 to 0) and Motor Vehicle Theft (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 Lewis & Clark College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 5 Clery Act categories here: Fondling, Rape, Burglary, Aggravated Assault and Motor Vehicle Theft. Fondling accounts for most of them.
The remaining 6 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 Lewis & Clark College sits on price and outcomes
At $36,013, Lewis & Clark College's reported average net price is cheaper than 94% among 54 Oregon colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $16,732.

- average net price

- Oregon median
- 2.2×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $29,028
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $15,962, while those above $110,000 record $44,990 - roughly 2.8 times as much. A published average of $36,013 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Median earnings six years after entry ($43,608) are less than 1.2 years of the reported net price. That is a thin margin, and it is the figure worth pressing the school on before enrolling.
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.
