The 10 year average rate is 13.9 per 100,000 per year on the Navajo Nation. It is remarkably stable and much lower than many Native American communities.

It is hard to measure rates in very rural areas. Some percentage of single car accidents are probably actually suicides as well. Males account for 85% of the deaths. Males 24.5/100,000 and females 3.6. 30% were 25-34 years old. Most were in the 15-44 year range which is different that the rest of the US. The rates for the elderly are much lower than the rest of the US, 4.4. Rates of suicide by firearm are much lower ( 22%)on the Navajo Nation.

For comparison the rates for the US as a whole are 12/100,000. France is 14.7 and South Korea is 28.1
