Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 TX 2-year peers in this comparison, Tarrant County College District is larger than 100% and safer-reporting than 0% - 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 43,928 enrolled students, Tarrant County College District is the 49th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,536 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: El Paso Community College (0.20/1k); Northwest Vista College (0.60/1k); Blinn College District (0.44/1k); St Philip's College (0.29/1k); Palo Alto College (0.40/1k); Texas State Technical College (1.49/1k); Northeast Lakeview College (0.43/1k); Amarillo College (0.32/1k). 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 State University is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at Tarrant County College District rose from 25 to 39 (+56%). The increase shows up in Burglary (1 to 20), Aggravated Assault (2 to 4) and Arson (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Motor Vehicle Theft (6 to 3), Rape (4 to 1) and Fondling (10 to 8).
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 Tarrant County College District
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Fondling, Burglary, Motor Vehicle Theft, Aggravated Assault, Rape, Statutory Rape and Arson.
The remaining 4 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Negligent Manslaughter and Robbery. 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 Tarrant County College District sits on price and outcomes
At $4,337, Tarrant County College District's reported average net price is cheaper than 6% among 337 Texas colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $18,267.

- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $3,334, while those above $110,000 record $10,749 - roughly 3.2 times as much. A published average of $4,337 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 $34,945 - about 8.1 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly. Only 29% 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.
