Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
University of Arizona increased from 80 to 131 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 33 AZ 4-year peers in this comparison, University of Arizona is larger than 91% and safer-reporting than 16% - 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 56,365 enrolled students, University of Arizona is the 21st largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,564 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Arizona State University Campus Immersion (5.21/1k); Northern Arizona University (8.11/1k); Rio Salado College (0.21/1k); Glendale Community College (0.57/1k); Yavapai College (0.00/1k); Paradise Valley Community College (0.16/1k); GateWay Community College (1.08/1k); Midwestern University-Glendale (0.00/1k). 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 (University of Florida is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at University of Arizona rose from 80 to 131 (+64%). The increase shows up in Motor Vehicle Theft (20 to 65), Rape (17 to 24) and Aggravated Assault (6 to 7). Falling over the same period: Robbery (4 to 2), Arson (2 to 1) and Fondling (10 to 9).
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 University of Arizona
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 9 Clery Act categories here: Rape, Motor Vehicle Theft, Burglary, Aggravated Assault, Fondling, Robbery, Arson, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter and Statutory Rape.
The remaining 2 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, Incest 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 University of Arizona sits on price and outcomes
At $16,674, University of Arizona's reported average net price is cheaper than 41% among 81 Arizona colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $20,834.

- average net price

- 2.4×

- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $13,353 for families reporting under $30,000 against $22,307 above $110,000, a difference of $8,954. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $16,674 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $47,665, roughly 2.9 times a year of net price. That is a workable ratio, though it says nothing about how long the programme takes to finish.
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.
