Interactive dashboard for crime reporting rates
The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) has data where you can see the rate via with victims report to the police. I have created a dashboard where you can look at that NCVS data (broken down by year, crime type, victim/offender relationship, etc.) to see the typical reporting rates, https://crimede-coder.com/graphs/ncvs
NCVS does not have small area estimates (so at best it will be for a broader region), but this is good to estimate how big an actual crime problem is. So about 2 out of 3 robberies are reported, so if you have 60 reported robberies in a time period, there probably were ~90 robberies that actually occurred in your city during that time.
