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 Medanos College fell from 22 to 19 (-14%). The increase shows up in Burglary (13 to 16). Falling over the same period: Motor Vehicle Theft (8 to 3) and Aggravated Assault (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 Medanos College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 3 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Motor Vehicle Theft and Aggravated Assault. Burglary accounts for most of them.
The remaining 8 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Arson, Fondling, Incest and Murder / Non-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 Los Medanos College sits on price and outcomes
At $7,443, Los Medanos College's reported average net price is cheaper than 16% among 492 California colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $20,161.
- $7,443
- average net price
- $20,161
- California median
- $1,093
- reported income-bracket spread
Price barely responds to income at this institution. Families under $30,000 report $5,958 and those above $110,000 report $7,051, a difference of just $1,093. Where the curve is this flat, need-based aid is doing little of the work and the sticker figure is close to what most families actually pay.
Six years after enrolling, the median former student who received federal aid reports $35,606 - about 4.8 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. Only 40% 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.
