How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is the age-standardized suicide mortality rate per 100,000 people. It counts deaths by suicide for both sexes combined and makes countries with different age structures more comparable. Lower is better.

The primary source is WHO indicator MH_12 from the World Health Organization data portal. Nomadino uses the latest available annual value for both sexes for each country. This update was generated from the WHO API on June 16th, 2026; the underlying WHO estimate series currently run through 2021.

Age-standardization is mandatory because crude death rates are strongly affected by population age structure. Two countries with the same age-specific risks can otherwise show different overall rates if their populations have different age profiles.

The rating is calculated from the raw value on an inverse logarithmic scale: 2 deaths per 100,000 people or lower receive 100 points, while 50 or higher receives 1 point. Between those anchors: rating = 100 - 99 * ln(raw value / 2) / ln(50 / 2), rounded to whole points and bounded to 1-100.

The logarithmic scale is appropriate here because differences at low rates remain visible, while very high values do not compress the entire ranking. A decline from 8 to 4 per 100,000 therefore matters more visibly than the same absolute change at a very high level.

For countries and territories without a separate WHO series, Nomadino uses maintained replacement values. These are derived from administering state, regional WHO comparators, available country values and bounded health, social and stability context. Replacement values remain visible in the same unit and use the same rating formula.

This indicator measures only fatal suicides, not suicide attempts, overall mental health, depression, therapy availability or live crisis support. Reporting quality, stigma, legal classification and cause-of-death statistics can influence country values, so replacement values and outliers are additionally checked for plausibility.
