Su***de is a serious public health issue. Here’s a look at what the latest data tell us about su***de deaths in our state.
In 2024:
• 1,175 Hoosiers died by su***de.
• Indiana’s su***de rate was 17.0 deaths per 100,000 people—higher than the national rate of 14.4.
• Among Hoosiers ages 15–34, the su***de rate increased 7% from 2023 to 2024, reaching 19.7 per 100,000.
• Fi****ms were involved in 65% of su***de deaths.
The data remind us why su***de prevention, early intervention, access to support, and reducing access to lethal means are so important.
If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. Call or text 988 to reach the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.
