Piedmont Technical College decreased from 1 to 0 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 23 SC 2-year peers in this comparison, Piedmont Technical College is larger than 77% and safer-reporting than 36% - 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.

What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Piedmont Technical College fell from 1 to 0 (-100%). The decrease shows up in 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 Piedmont Technical College
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Fondling.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Burglary 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 Piedmont Technical College sits on price and outcomes
At $11,366, Piedmont Technical College's reported average net price is cheaper than 25% among 81 South Carolina colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $16,525.

Price barely responds to income at this institution. Families under $30,000 report $11,778 and those above $110,000 report $13,299, a difference of just $1,521. 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.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $31,430, 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 33% 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.
