The hermit found his small house adequate.
The assumption raised by the question may or may not be correct. State and city data can and does vary from one year to the next and a comprehensive set of data on which to make an analysis that is all inclusive is rarely available until 5 or more years after the fact. Any statistical analysis that begins with an incomplete, flawed or inaccurate data base will yield garbage. (Garbage in and garbage out.) The 2004 US suicide statistics ranks Alaska as #1, Montana as #2, Nevada as #3 and Washington as #18 tied with Tennessee. Colorado which consistently ranks at or near the top in regards to a healthy population is ranked as having the sixth highest rate of suicides. If a cause like Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) was to blame, then Alaska, Washington and Oregon should be in lock-step. (They aren't. Oregon ranked #10, and how do you explain the presence of Alaska (The Last Frontier), Montana (Big Sky Country), Wyoming (Cowboy State),Colorado (Rocky Mountain High), Idaho (Let it be forever), and Utah (Industry) all ranking in the top ten for suicides.)The 2005 US suicide statistics ranks the top ten as:Montana.Nevada.Alaska.New Mexico.Wyoming.Colorado.Idaho.Arizona.South Dakota.Oregon. Washington ranked 21st in 2005.The truth is that the very small number of suicides makes for faulty analysis. A very small shift in the cluster of numbers can distort the "Big Picture". In the United States, 1.3% of all deaths are are from suicide and on average, someone commits suicide every 16 minutes. Suicide ranks as the 11th leading cause of death. Suicide is the third leading cause of death among young people aging between 15 and 24 behind accidents and homicides. Four males die of suicide for each female and there are 800,000 suicide attempts each year. Some generalities can be valid and others are unproven while a third set are only interesting, like for example that Doctors are the leading category of suicide victims, that they almost never use a gun and that the number of women Doctors who attempt suicide succeed at the same rate as their male counterparts. It is a stressful occupation and they have ready access to both the knowledge and the pharmaceuticals required.
