^ Thank you very much for compiling this list. We all greatly appreciate your hard work!
That 71 for Pittsburgh is correct. It is one more than the 70 we had in 2014 and comes just shy of the 72 we had in 2008, which, I believe, was the highest since the '90's.
Pittsburgh is already at 1 for 2023. A male shot and killed a police chief in one of our suburbs and wounded another officer from an adjacent suburb that was assisting. That male then fled into the city and was killed in a shootout with city police.

Justifiable police shootings don't count toward the homicide total, do they?

Any consensus as to why the spike? Still a very respectable number, but interesting that it went up so much in one year.

West Coast fares pretty well compared to most of the country, but there are still cities with issues - the 3 highest murder rates on the West Coast in 2022 were:
1) Oakland, CA (27.65)
2) Tacoma, WA (19.63)
3) Portland, OR (14.98)

Not even close. San Bernardino has them all beat at 35 per.
Also Compton at around 20 per, 77th div in LA at 30, Southeast div at 34. And stats for high desert cities not released yet. The PNW not that bad.
