The denominator is easy, wikipedia tells me that is 147,000 (2020.) I'm wonder what the numerator is.

No that's wrong, because most of those people don't have the security to risk making a report.

How many is the numerator? That's all I'm asking; do you even know? There is a pretty big difference between 15 and 200. Which of those is more accurate? Is it even either of those?

What good is 'estimating' (read: bullshiting) another denominator if I don't even know what the numerator is?
