Enrollment scale
How campus size shapes the safety figures
With 24,985 enrolled students, Long Beach City College is the 147th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,438 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Pasadena City College (1.06/1k); Chaffey College (0.62/1k); Fresno City College (1.10/1k); Cerritos College (0.37/1k); Riverside City College (0.46/1k); El Camino Community College District (1.57/1k); Southwestern College (0.76/1k); San Joaquin Delta College (0.48/1k). The score above normalizes 2024 Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students, so compare it with similarly sized campuses instead of treating a higher raw count as evidence that a campus is less safe (The University of Texas at El Paso is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Long Beach City College fell from 5 to 2 (-60%). The increase shows up in Motor Vehicle Theft (1 to 2). Falling over the same period: Burglary (4 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 Long Beach City College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 2 Clery Act categories here: Burglary and Motor Vehicle Theft.
The remaining 9 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 Long Beach City College sits on price and outcomes
At $6,202, Long Beach City College's reported average net price is cheaper than 11% among 492 California colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $20,161.

- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $5,505, while those above $110,000 record $10,089 - roughly 1.8 times as much. A published average of $6,202 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 $31,118 - about 5.0 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. Only 28% 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.
