Rated areas per place
Counts follow the size and density of each place, not how thoroughly it has been covered. Stellenbosch has 32 rated areas because it is a small town, not because it is half-finished.

Questions
About coverage
The app still works as a normal map and turn-by-turn navigator anywhere. It simply has no risk data to apply, and it tells you that rather than implying an unmapped road has been checked and found safe.
No. A blank area means no data. An area rated in the lowest band means it was checked and carries no routing penalty. The app shows those differently on purpose.
Rated areas and roads are re-scored periodically as new crime statistics are published, and corrections from local knowledge are applied continuously. The app pulls changes automatically, so you do not need to reinstall it.
New places are added as time and money allow, since each one means fetching map data, scoring it against crime statistics, and running a review pass before anything goes live. Anything people chip in speeds that up.

Each new city means map data, crime scoring and a review pass before it goes live. Sponsoring one is the surest way to move it up the list.
