What changed in 2024
University of North Florida decreased from 23 to 3 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.

Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 FL 4-year peers in this comparison, University of North Florida is larger than 75% and safer-reporting than 36% - 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 16,154 enrolled students, University of North Florida is the 280th largest of the 5,585 institutions in this dataset with a reported enrollment, ahead of 5,305 of them. Closest same-state same-level scored peers by enrollment: Florida Gulf Coast University (0.48/1k); Indian River State College (0.52/1k); Seminole State College of Florida (0.07/1k); University of West Florida (1.21/1k); Florida SouthWestern State College (0.56/1k); Eastern Florida State College (0.14/1k); Daytona State College (1.40/1k); Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University-Worldwide (0.16/1k). 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 (Fordham University is the nearest similar-enrollment comparison on this profile).
What changed between 2023 and 2024
Reported on-campus incidents at University of North Florida fell from 23 to 3 (-87%). The decrease shows up in Motor Vehicle Theft (10 to 0), Rape (6 to 1) and 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 North Florida
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Rape, Motor Vehicle Theft, Burglary, Fondling, Aggravated Assault, Robbery and Statutory Rape.
The remaining 4 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, 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 North Florida sits on price and outcomes
At $10,154, University of North Florida's reported average net price is cheaper than 23% among 263 Florida colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $19,849.

- average net price

- Florida median

- six-year earnings to median debt

- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $6,647, while those above $110,000 record $17,730 - roughly 2.7 times as much. A published average of $10,154 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 $46,546 - about 4.6 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.
