Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
Metropolitan Community College Area decreased from 5 to 3 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 16 NE 2-year peers in this comparison, Metropolitan Community College Area is larger than 100% and safer-reporting than 27% - 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 16,642 enrolled students, Metropolitan Community College Area is the 270th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,315 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Southeast Community College Area (0.37/1k); Central Community College (0.14/1k); Northeast Community College (0.00/1k); Mid-Plains Community College (0.47/1k); Western Nebraska Community College (1.27/1k); Xenon A Stephanie Moss Academy (0.00/1k); Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture (4.50/1k); Little Priest Tribal College (0.00/1k). 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 (Florida Gulf Coast University is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Metropolitan Community College Area fell from 5 to 3 (-40%). The increase shows up in Motor Vehicle Theft (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Burglary (2 to 1), Fondling (2 to 1) and Robbery (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 Metropolitan Community College Area
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 5 Clery Act categories here: Motor Vehicle Theft, Burglary, Fondling, Aggravated Assault and Robbery.
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 Metropolitan Community College Area sits on price and outcomes
At $4,982, Metropolitan Community College Area's reported average net price is among the lowest reported prices among 35 Nebraska colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $16,590.

- average net price

- Nebraska median
- 4.3×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $5,326
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $4,151, while those above $110,000 record $9,477 - roughly 2.3 times as much. A published average of $4,982 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 $35,437 - about 7.1 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. 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.
