Changelog
Every version of this site, what came with it, and which countries arrived. A version is a state of the data you can cite, not a release of software.
1.1World Suicide Prevention Day
- India arrives, from the National Crime Records Bureau's police count at ages 0–17, 2020–2024 — the first police series on this site.
- Kenya arrives at ages 0–14, from the two years of community death registration that can be read.
- The Philippines reaches 2024, four years past the WHO submission, drawn as two runs because no year is covered by both sources.
- Canada goes back to 1974 at ages 15–19, half of it recovered from rates Statistics Canada published to fifteen significant figures and never published counts for.
- Nine European series extended from Eurostat, Norway by eight years and Germany by three, each tested against the years both sources cover. France failed that test and was not extended.
- Forty-four years of phantom zeros removed across six countries, where the WHO file records a year a country never sent as a row of zeros.
- An age range on every page: twelve ranges from 0–14 to 20–24, wherever a country's own file supports them, assembled from published bands and never interpolated.
- A cookieless page counter that records no address, no user agent and no cookie, and honours Global Privacy Control and Do Not Track in the browser.
- A review reads a page's own age range and the words around it, not every variant of the sentence under the chart, which the engine recomputes for each range, sex and window.
1.0Launched
- 113 countries and territories published, from 78 with a rate at ages 0-19 to 115 with a page of their own.
- 405,756 suicides over 20.91 billion person-years of observation at ages 0-19.
- Twelve age ranges, from 0-14 to 20-24, each assembled from published bands and never interpolated.
- A world map with quartile bins, a tile grid of the same data, and a page for every jurisdiction.
- 43 pages for countries whose published figures are not usable, each saying which of the two reasons applies and showing what was published.
- Guernsey and Alderney as prose, because six to nine deaths in twenty years is a paragraph and not a rate.
- China from urban and rural surveillance points, weighted by the 2020 census split, with the two lines shown so the weighting can be judged.
- School days and youth suicide: US ages 5-17 by weekday, month and school term.
- bands.csv and world.json: every jurisdiction at every range it can be read at, as one table.
