Reporting-period change
What changed in 2024
University of the Pacific decreased from 28 to 13 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 CA 4-year peers in this comparison, University of the Pacific is larger than 58% and safer-reporting than 47% - 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 Pacific fell from 28 to 13 (-54%). The increase shows up in Aggravated Assault (3 to 4) and Arson (1 to 2). Falling over the same period: Burglary (10 to 3), Rape (6 to 1) and Fondling (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 the Pacific
Across 3 reporting years, on-campus incidents were recorded in 7 Clery Act categories here: Burglary, Rape, Motor Vehicle Theft, Aggravated Assault, Arson, Fondling and Robbery.
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 the Pacific sits on price and outcomes
At $25,447, University of the Pacific's reported average net price is cheaper than 64% among 492 California colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $20,161.

- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $17,004, while those above $110,000 record $38,662 - roughly 2.3 times as much. A published average of $25,447 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Six-year median earnings of $62,672 run about 2.5 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.
