Driven by stark increases in the numbers of white women and Native Americans who are intentionally killing themselves, suicide rates in the United States jumped 24 percent in the years between 1999 and 2014, a new government report says.

Following a slow-but-steady rise in suicides from 2009, the yearly increase in suicide rates accelerated after 2006, as Americans’ financial woes mounted and a battering recession settled in. Between 2006 and 2014, the report shows, the yearly hike in the U.S. suicide rate jumped from 1 percent to 2 percent. Suicide rates climbed among men and women, and in all age groups between 10 and 74 years old.

Suicide rates among non-Hispanic American Indians and Alaska Natives were, in 1999, already the highest of any ethnic group, despite being widely underreported. By 2014, roughly 1 in 2,000 men in this ethnic group committed suicide, a 60 percent increase over the suicide rate among male American Indians and Alaska Natives that prevailed in 1999.

Among all men under 75, suicides surged. In the age group most prone to fatal self-harm — 45 to 64 — almost 30 in 1,000 men committed suicide in 2014, a 43 percent increase over 1999’s rate. Non-Hispanic black males were the only racial or ethnic group of either gender to have a lower suicide rate in 2014 than in 1999. All told, some 42,773 Americans died of suicide in 2014, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. That made suicide the 10th leading cause of death for all ages.

“This is definitely harrowing: The overall massiveness of the increase is to me the biggest shocker — the fact that it touched pretty much every group,” said Katherine Hempstead, who recently published an analysis of U.S. suicide trends in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.

Hempstead, director of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, noted that surging suicides among women — a group that has traditionally committed suicide at a far lower rate than men — was especially significant. While nearly four times as many men as women kill themselves, suicide rates among women grew much faster than those among men, and the gap between men and women narrowed.
