Move the mouse over the lines on the graph to see suicide rates for Māori and non-Māori men and women. Click on a tab in the key to remove that line from the graph; click on the tab again to restore it.

During the period 1996–2015 rates of suicide for both Māori men and women were consistently higher than for non-Māori. The figures above include all ages, but in fact the disparity between Māori and non-Māori were greatest amongst males aged 15–44 and females aged 15–24 and 25–44.
