Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 31 LA 4-year peers in this comparison, University of Louisiana at Lafayette is larger than 97% and safer-reporting than 50% - the larger, safer-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 15,665 enrolled students, University of Louisiana at Lafayette is the 290th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,295 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Southeastern Louisiana University (3.74/1k); Tulane University of Louisiana (7.36/1k); Louisiana Tech University (1.26/1k); Louisiana State University-Shreveport (1.21/1k); University of Louisiana at Monroe (2.33/1k); Northwestern State University of Louisiana (3.17/1k); Southern University and A & M College (3.02/1k); Louisiana State University-Alexandria (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 (Eastern Kentucky University is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at University of Louisiana at Lafayette rose from 22 to 23 (+5%). The increase shows up in Fondling (0 to 2), Arson (0 to 1) and Rape (1 to 2). Falling over the same period: Motor Vehicle Theft (5 to 1).
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 Louisiana at Lafayette
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Motor Vehicle Theft, Rape, Aggravated Assault, Fondling, Arson and Robbery. Burglary 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 Louisiana at Lafayette sits on price and outcomes
At $13,530, University of Louisiana at Lafayette's reported average net price is cheaper than 42% among 96 Louisiana colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $15,635.

- average net price

- Louisiana median
- 1.9×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $7,405
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $11,157 for families reporting under $30,000 against $18,562 above $110,000, a difference of $7,405. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $13,530 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $42,668, roughly 3.2 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.
