This indicator shows the age-adjusted death rate due to suicide (ICD-10 codes U03, X60-X84, Y87.0).
Why is this important?
Suicide is a major, preventable public health problem that can have lasting harmful effects on individuals, families, and communities. It is the tenth leading cause of death in the US. Despite many efforts, suicide rates have increased by more than 30% from 1999 to 2019. Every 11 minutes, someone dies from suicide. Suicide rates vary by sex, race/ethnicity, and other factors, but affect all ages. If you or someone you know is in crisis, please contact the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline at 988 or 988lifeline.org.
