Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 32 AL 4-year peers in this comparison, University of North Alabama is larger than 81% and safer-reporting than 32% - 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.

Sample of 12 campuses from the plot (sorted by enrollment). Source: U.S. Department of Education OPE Campus Safety Survey + IPEDS enrollment. Rate = on-campus Criminal Offenses and VAWA incidents per 1,000 students; lower is safer-reporting, not a personal-risk forecast.
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at University of North Alabama held level. The total is unchanged, but the mix behind it is not. Rising: Rape (2 to 6), Aggravated Assault (0 to 1) and Arson (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Burglary (8 to 5), Fondling (3 to 2) and Motor Vehicle Theft (6 to 5).
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 North Alabama
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Rape, Motor Vehicle Theft, Fondling, Robbery, Aggravated Assault 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 North Alabama sits on price and outcomes
At $12,170, University of North Alabama's reported average net price is cheaper than 29% among 65 Alabama colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $15,258.
- $12,170
- average net price
- $15,258
- Alabama median
- 1.7×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $5,125
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $9,741 for families reporting under $30,000 against $14,866 above $110,000, a difference of $5,125. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $12,170 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $38,295, roughly 3.1 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.
