What actually gets reported at Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico-Ponce
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Burglary.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Fondling 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 Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico-Ponce sits on price and outcomes
At $13,192, Pontifical Catholic University of Puerto Rico-Ponce's reported average net price is cheaper than 93% among 107 Puerto Rico colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $7,404.

- average net price

- Puerto Rico median
- 1.3×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $7,738
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $12,384 for families reporting under $30,000 against $20,122 above $110,000, a difference of $7,738. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $13,192 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Six-year median earnings of $20,637 run about 1.6 times the annual net price. The margin is real but narrow, so how many years of price a student actually pays matters a great deal here.
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.
