Notes

Suicides by the ONS's definition: deaths from intentional self-harm at 10 and over and deaths from injury or poisoning of undetermined intent at 15 and over, by the year they were registered, which can be months or years after the death while an inquest is held, so a year's figure is not the year's deaths.
Each area's figure counts its usual residents, on the ONS's latest postcode boundaries (August 2026) for every year. England and Wales's also counts the deaths of non-residents registered there, so it is more than England's and Wales's together.
