Campus size vs reported safety rate
Among 37 TX 4-year peers in this comparison, University of the Incarnate Word is larger than 69% and safer-reporting than 25% - 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 the Incarnate Word fell from 13 to 12 (-8%). The increase shows up in Aggravated Assault (0 to 2), Robbery (0 to 2) and Statutory Rape (0 to 1). Falling over the same period: Motor Vehicle Theft (5 to 1) and Rape (3 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 the Incarnate Word
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Motor Vehicle Theft, Rape, 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 the Incarnate Word sits on price and outcomes
At $22,775, University of the Incarnate Word's reported average net price is cheaper than 72% among 337 Texas colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $18,267.

- Texas median
- 1.8×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $12,279
- reported income-bracket spread
Net price moves with income here, but not sharply: $19,260 for families reporting under $30,000 against $31,539 above $110,000, a difference of $12,279. Aid narrows the gap without closing it, so the $22,775 average sits reasonably close to what most brackets report.
Six-year median earnings of $47,625 run about 2.1 times the annual net price. The margin is real but narrow, so how many years of price a student actually pays matters a great deal here.
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.
