Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 MI 4-year peers in this comparison, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor is larger than 100% and safer-reporting than 33% - 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 52,855 enrolled students, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor is the 27th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,558 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Michigan State University (5.32/1k); Wayne State University (2.31/1k); Grand Valley State University (3.95/1k); Western Michigan University (2.39/1k); Oakland University (2.35/1k); Central Michigan University (3.11/1k); Eastern Michigan University (5.46/1k); Henry Ford College (0.18/1k). 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 (Houston Community College is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at University of Michigan-Ann Arbor fell from 136 to 106 (-22%). The increase shows up in Fondling (32 to 44). Falling over the same period: Motor Vehicle Theft (27 to 4), Rape (33 to 23) and Aggravated Assault (28 to 21).
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 Michigan-Ann Arbor
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Fondling, Rape, Aggravated Assault, Burglary, Motor Vehicle Theft, Robbery and Arson.
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 Michigan-Ann Arbor sits on price and outcomes
At $13,138, University of Michigan-Ann Arbor's reported average net price is cheaper than 36% among 138 Michigan colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $17,263.

- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $1,043, while those above $110,000 record $26,517 - roughly 25.4 times as much. A published average of $13,138 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 $73,762 - about 5.6 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.
