What zipradar shows
Pages show per-100k rates (never raw counts) for major offense categories, the reporting agency, and whether reporting was complete for the year.
Refresh cadence
Weekly rolling uploads. zipradar honors the regulator's publishing cadence; stale data is flagged rather than silently served.
Limitations
UCR has known reporting gaps for some agencies and years. zipradar flags missing reports rather than interpolating. Small agencies may not participate at all.
