67 colleges and universities in Oregon. Average safety score: 3.02 incidents per 1,000 students. Ranked by Clery Act on-campus incident rate.

Oregon reports Clery Act campus safety data across 67 higher education institutions distributed across 38 cities , serving approximately 198,475 enrolled students combined. The statewide average safety score stands at 3.02 on-campus incidents per 1,000 enrolled students, placing Oregon at national rank #45 among US states for campus safety outcomes. The median institution in Oregon reports 0.20 incidents per 1,000 students, while 33 campuses reported zero on-campus incidents during the survey window.

Clatsop Community College in ASTORIA leads Oregon with the lowest reported incident rate (0.00 per 1,000 students). The largest institution by enrollment is Oregon State University with 35,622 students and a safety score of 3.17. Raw incident counts across institutions in this state must be interpreted alongside enrollment size — a large urban research university and a small rural liberal arts college produce very different absolute numbers for identical underlying risk.

Every institution listed below participates in federal financial aid programs and is therefore legally required under the Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act to publish annual on-campus crime statistics. The data is collected by the US Department of Education via the OPE Campus Safety and Security Survey. Rankings shown on this page reflect incident rates per 1,000 enrolled students, so smaller schools with a handful of reports can score worse than large universities with dozens of reports. Use the table below to compare campuses with similar enrollment profiles before drawing conclusions about relative safety.
