California has 7th lowest ranking in the Union, as it relates to #suicide, with 10.7 suicides per 100K inhabitants (annual numbers). Source below...
Population: 38.8 million (2014) for California. 10.02 million (2013) for LA County. So, for LA county approximately 3 suicides a day: ((10020000/100000)*10.7)/365=3
For California, it'd be about 11 suicides a day (or ((38800000/100000))*10.7)/365=11.3)
Since most our news is distributed locally, let's look at the LA basin. 21 person dies from suicide every week, a bit under 100 people die from suicide in LA every month. I have difficult time remembering seeing any news about any suicide every. I am not sure if this is by design or whatever, but the fact is, suicides are rampant but poorly covered by the media.
