Clem, those numbers while I'm sure accurate are a little misleading. North Dakota due to its low population might not take much for a 58% increase. I would think suicides/100,000 people would be more comparing apple's to apples.
If you find me hanging or burned to death, you can sure bet i didn't do it to myself!
I believe they're based on per 100,000.
