Where are San Francisco, San Diego, and San Jose? All three of them are comfortably lower than any of these cities. Interesting how people talk about high crime in CA yet three of its four biggest cities are among the safest in the country.
It call minor update the next update will include almost every city and mid summer review on metro areas also cities. Check page 107 update for July 14th update.

Nobody said they weren’t. These guys spend a lot of time putting the data together and crunching the numbers. They aren’t going to have every city in the US with every update. If you want to tell us how safe San Francisco is pull the numbers yourself and share it with us
Also, it sounds like you're just repeating Republican talking points. Seattle PD funding barely decreased. A bunch of officers quit over the whole CHOP thing but it seems like you're trying to create a correlation where there isn't one.
Mayor Jenny "Summer of Love" Durkan has done a big 180 after defunding the police. Defund was a major policy fail, only a naive fool can still defend it.
^Using your numbers, these are the rates (per 100K people) so far:
New York - 2.89
Los Angeles - 5.42
Chicago - 16.06
Philly - 20.02
Minneapolis - 11.55
Austin - 4.82
New Orleans - 31.36
Jackson - 53.50 Birmingham - 29.97
Denver - 8.16
Some other cities:
Seattle - 3.64
Portland - 7.77
DC - 15.85
Atlanta - 15.43
Charlotte - 6.33
Dallas - 8.71
Nashville - 11.33
This is using 2020 population estimates so it may be slightly off, but it is close enough.
Adding to that:
Montgomery: 20.73
Mobile: 11.85
Huntsville: 7.39
I'll take total, not per capita. That per capita model is so 1980's.
Raw numbers are useless when comparing population of vastly different sizes. NYC is one of the safest major cities in the country while New Orleans is one of the most dangerous, but the total numbers would lead you to believe that NYC is more dangerous.

A matter of opinions, which we all have. Different strokes for different folks...Take care.

Murder is only a small part of crime. For example, Mobile may have more murders than Huntsville, but Huntsville actually has a higher violent crime rate, but again that's still not all of it as well. Mobile still maintains a higher non-violent crime rate than Huntsville. So its still possible that the 3 cities have a lot of crime in other category
Greater Boston Population: 5,000,000 (I'm guessing based on 2020 census)
Murders so far in 2021: 30
Rate: 0.60 murders per 100,000 people
This time in 2020: 48
YOY Change: Down 18 or 40%
