Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Los Angeles City College was unchanged from 10 to 10 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 37 CA 2-year peers in this comparison, Los Angeles City College is larger than 72% and safer-reporting than 22% - 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 Los Angeles City College held level. The total is unchanged, but the mix behind it is not. Rising: Burglary (4 to 9). Falling over the same period: Aggravated Assault (2 to 0), Arson (1 to 0) and Fondling (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 Los Angeles City College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Aggravated Assault, Fondling, Motor Vehicle Theft, Robbery, Arson and Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter. Burglary accounts for most of them.
The remaining 4 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, Incest, Negligent Manslaughter, Rape and Statutory Rape. 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.

Where Los Angeles City College sits on price and outcomes
At $10,261, Los Angeles City College's reported average net price is cheaper than 22% among 492 California colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $20,161.

- six-year earnings to median debt
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $28,854, roughly 2.8 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish. Only 27% 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.
