Professor Pynes has shared the overall faculty ratings with me, and I will share portions of them in the coming days. The full results will, hopefully, be online at the usual site by mid-December.
Here are the top 15 programs in the U.S. according to the 2021 PGR surveys:

My earlier guesstimate based on faculty changes since 2017 turned out to be fairly accurate.
Besides Notre Dame, the schools that saw the biggest upward movement (at least five spots) since the 2017 surveys were Cornell (#25 to #19), UC Riverside (#32 to #27), Johns Hopkins (#40 to #31), Rice (outside the top 50 to #44), and Utah (outside the top 50 to #46). Rice, as I noted previously, was the most surprising result in the 2017 surveys; since then, they have added Uriah Kriegel in philosophy of mind at the senior ranks, and some of their strong younger faculty in value theory (e.g., Gwen Bradford, Vida Yao) have become widely recognized.
