Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 31 LA 4-year peers in this comparison, Tulane University of Louisiana is larger than 90% and safer-reporting than 13% - 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 Tulane University of Louisiana rose from 53 to 60 (+13%). The increase shows up in Fondling (3 to 12), Aggravated Assault (4 to 10) and Robbery (1 to 3). Falling over the same period: Motor Vehicle Theft (16 to 9), Rape (20 to 18) and Burglary (9 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 Tulane University of Louisiana
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 6 Clery Act categories here: Rape, Motor Vehicle Theft, Fondling, Burglary, Aggravated Assault and Robbery.
The remaining 5 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 Tulane University of Louisiana sits on price and outcomes
At $39,949, Tulane University of Louisiana's reported average net price is cheaper than 98% among 96 Louisiana colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $15,635.

- average net price

- Louisiana median
- 2.4×
- six-year earnings to median debt

- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $16,126, while those above $110,000 record $56,667 - roughly 3.5 times as much. A published average of $39,949 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Median earnings six years after entry ($50,220) are less than 1.3 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.
