I remember reading that one year it was Vermont. These things change over time, and sometimes the rate could swing wildly, because a state with low population and a spike of a few more suicides that would be unnoticeable in a more populated state changes the RATE so much in a mostly-rural state.

Would living in a city, like Chicago, in the black neighborhoods be considered suicidal?

Lame. Why you think it makes sense to do this is beyond me. And you'd still be wrong, according to this source.

The SpectatorSeattle Suicide Rates Increasing - The Spectator

And on top of all that, you still have to make the case that the suicide rate is driven by the weather, which is a highly dubious assumption. http://www.seattletimes.com/nation-w...ar-high-in-us/

Source?

Did you know that 78.3% of all internet statistics are made up on the spot?

Let's debunk your rhetoric myths all in one shot....


1. Seattle has the highest suicide rate in the country.

Seattle has regrettably suffered the title “Suicide City USA” for a long time, presumably because of the weather. Rainy weather equals higher suicide rates – perfectly logical! But the truth is Seattle doesn’t even make the top 10 list. According to a study published in the journal Social Science and Medicine, Las Vegas is the true suicide capital of the US, followed by Colorado Springs, Tucson and a list of other cities that don’t include Seattle.

2. The Pacific Northwest is the rainiest part of the country.

Not even close. Hawaii and all of the states along the Gulf Coast get more annual precipitation on average than the Pacific Northwest by a wide margin.
