Enrollment scale
How campus size shapes the safety figures
With 23,124 enrolled students, University of Colorado Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus is the 166th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,419 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Front Range Community College (0.32/1k); Metropolitan State University of Denver (5.26/1k); Arapahoe Community College (0.20/1k); Colorado Technical University-Colorado Springs (0.00/1k); University of Denver (7.26/1k); Pikes Peak State College (0.72/1k); Colorado State University-Fort Collins (3.23/1k); University of Colorado Colorado Springs (4.93/1k). 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 New Mexico-Main Campus is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at University of Colorado Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus fell from 169 to 140 (-17%). The increase shows up in Arson (4 to 11), Rape (7 to 12) and Aggravated Assault (8 to 11). Falling over the same period: Motor Vehicle Theft (129 to 87) and Robbery (3 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 University of Colorado Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Motor Vehicle Theft, Burglary, Aggravated Assault, Fondling, Rape, Arson and Robbery. Motor Vehicle Theft accounts for most of them.
The remaining 4 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, Incest, Murder / Non-Negligent Manslaughter, Negligent Manslaughter and Statutory Rape. 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 Colorado Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus sits on price and outcomes
At $11,900, University of Colorado Denver/Anschutz Medical Campus's reported average net price is cheaper than 24% among 67 Colorado colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $17,052.

- six-year earnings to median debt
- $15,732
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $6,743, while those above $110,000 record $22,475 - roughly 3.3 times as much. A published average of $11,900 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 $52,475 - about 4.4 times one year of the reported net price here. On that ratio the cost is recovered quickly.
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.
