One school has a directional average-net-price path over 2013–2023; the other sits in a measured range (or the two move opposite ways). Cost gaps on this board are moving targets.

• North-West College-West Covina: average net price rose +47.5% from $19,258 (2013) to $28,408 (2023), r² 0.91.
• Monroe University: net price ranged $9,404–$13,148 across 11 years (2013–2023); endpoint change -6.7% is not a trend (r² 0.10).
• North-West College-West Covina: enrollment ranged 315–700 (2013–2023, 11 points) without a stable fitted direction.
• Monroe University: enrollment shrank -11.8% over 2013–2023; fitted -64 students/yr fitted, r² 0.41.
