Los Angeles Valley College increased from 15 to 17 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 Valley College is larger than 64% and safer-reporting than 11% - 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.

Enrollment scale
How campus size shapes the safety figures
With 15,999 enrolled students, Los Angeles Valley College is the 282nd largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,303 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Cosumnes River College (0.70/1k); Los Angeles Pierce College (0.30/1k); Orange Coast College (1.58/1k); Diablo Valley College (0.35/1k); Los Angeles City College (0.75/1k); Moorpark College (0.14/1k); De Anza College (0.46/1k); College of the Sequoias (0.62/1k). 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 (CUNY Queens College is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Los Angeles Valley College rose from 15 to 17 (+13%). The increase shows up in Motor Vehicle Theft (6 to 11) and Arson (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Fondling (2 to 0), Aggravated Assault (1 to 0) and Burglary (6 to 5).
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 Valley College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 5 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Motor Vehicle Theft, Fondling, Aggravated Assault and Arson. Burglary accounts for most of them.
The remaining 6 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Negligent Manslaughter and 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.

Cost context
Where Los Angeles Valley College sits on price and outcomes
At $12,152, Los Angeles Valley College's reported average net price is cheaper than 27% among 492 California colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $20,161.

- average net price

- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $11,225, while those above $110,000 record $20,546 - roughly 1.8 times as much. A published average of $12,152 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $33,987, 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.
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.
