What This Suicide Figure Means
This game compares suicide mortality rate per 100,000 population.
- The figure is age-standardized and intended to compare mortality burden across populations.
- It is also deeply shaped by reporting quality, stigma, and how a death gets classified in the first place.
- The number matters because it is tragic. The measurement matters because tragedy is not recorded evenly.
Even the most intimate forms of loss end up passing through institutions.
