ANOMALY ENGINE · NOTABLE SIGNALS

What the data flags at Johns Hopkins

Short-arc shifts (recent 3-year window), peer outliers, earnings trend breaks, completion drops, enrollment cliffs, and debt-to-earnings warnings — surfaced deterministically from the federal record. Multi-decade shifts are reported separately in the Long Arc section, since 25-year tuition drift isn't really an anomaly.

LONG-ARC SHIFT · TRENDING WORSE+11%

In-state tuition

In-state tuition at Johns Hopkins University rose 11% between 2021 and 2024 ($58.7k → $65.2k).

LONG-ARC SHIFT · TRENDING BETTER-100%

3-year cohort default rate

3-year cohort default rate at Johns Hopkins University fell 100% between 2021 and 2024 (0.6% → 0.0%).

LONG-ARC SHIFT · TRENDING WORSE+11%

Out-of-state tuition

Out-of-state tuition at Johns Hopkins University rose 11% between 2021 and 2024 ($58.7k → $65.2k).

EARNINGS TREND · TRENDING WORSE+1%

Earnings trend · post-entry horizons

Earnings 10 years post-entry at Johns Hopkins University are 1% above 6-year earnings ($86.3k → $87.6k).

SECTION 02 · EARNINGS HORIZONS

How earnings spread, 4 to 10 years after entry

Treasury tax-record earnings for federally aided students who first enrolled at this institution. Each point is a horizon from the most-recent vintage. Single median per horizon (no p25/p75 publishing).

SECTION 03 · DEBT-TO-EARNINGS

What loans cost relative to earnings

Annual debt service as a share of median earnings 10 years after entry, computed under federal Direct loan terms (10-year fixed at 6%). The 8% line is the gainful-employment threshold from federal regulation; above 12% has historically been considered “failing” under prior rule cycles.

CAUSAL DISCIPLINE

“Johns Hopkins graduates earn $X” — not “Johns Hopkins makes you earn $X”

Median earnings describe what cohorts earned. They do not describe what attending Johns Hopkins caused. Selection effects (who admits, who enrolls, who completes) are real. We publish federal data with strict descriptive phrasing — and link the methodology where you can read about the limitations directly.
