Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
The Evergreen State College increased from 5 to 14 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 37 WA 4-year peers in this comparison, The Evergreen State College is larger than 69% and safer-reporting than 14% - 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.

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 The Evergreen State College rose from 5 to 14 (+180%). The increase shows up in Motor Vehicle Theft (2 to 6), Burglary (1 to 4) and Rape (0 to 3). Falling over the same period: Fondling (1 to 0) and Negligent Manslaughter (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 The Evergreen State College
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 9 Clery Act categories here: Motor Vehicle Theft, Rape, Burglary, Aggravated Assault, Arson, Fondling, Negligent Manslaughter, Robbery and Statutory Rape.
The remaining 2 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, 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 The Evergreen State College sits on price and outcomes
At $24,319, The Evergreen State College's reported average net price is cheaper than 76% among 83 Washington colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $14,091.

- average net price

- Washington median
- 1.7×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $6,398
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $22,079 for families reporting under $30,000 against $28,477 above $110,000, a difference of $6,398. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $24,319 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median earnings six years after entry ($34,774) are less than 1.4 years of the reported net price. That is a thin margin, and it is the figure worth pressing the school on before enrolling.
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.
