Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
University of Idaho increased from 19 to 20 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.
See national reporting-year changesWhat changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at University of Idaho rose from 19 to 20 (+5%). The increase shows up in Motor Vehicle Theft (6 to 8), Fondling (2 to 3) and Rape (7 to 8). Falling over the same period: Burglary (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 Idaho
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 6 Clery Act categories here: Motor Vehicle Theft, Rape, Fondling, Burglary, Robbery and Aggravated Assault.
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 University of Idaho sits on price and outcomes
At $14,831, University of Idaho's reported average net price is cheaper than 34% among 29 Idaho colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $18,788.

- average net price

- Idaho median
- 1.9×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $7,521
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $11,270 for families reporting under $30,000 against $18,791 above $110,000, a difference of $7,521. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $14,831 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $42,602, 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.
