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 Wright State University-Lake Campus rose from 0 to 2. The increase shows up in Rape (0 to 2).
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 Wright State University-Lake Campus
Across 3 reporting years, the only Clery Act category with a recorded on-campus incident here is Rape.
The remaining 10 categories were reported with no on-campus incidents, among them Aggravated Assault, Arson, Burglary and Fondling. 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 Wright State University-Lake Campus sits on price and outcomes
At $11,081, Wright State University-Lake Campus's reported average net price is cheaper than 22% among 228 Ohio colleges with a reported figure. The state median is $17,989.

- average net price

- Ohio median
- 1.9×
- six-year earnings to median debt
- $7,803
- reported income-bracket spread
Aid here is steeply income-scaled. Families reporting under $30,000 of income record a net price of $7,349, while those above $110,000 record $15,152 - roughly 2.1 times as much. A published average of $11,081 therefore describes very few families well; the bracket nearest your own income is the more useful figure.
Median reported earnings six years after entry are $42,229, roughly 3.8 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.
