Clusters of Suicides in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah

This map shows clusters of high suicide rates in Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah between 1999-2019.

This map shows a cluster in the middle of the map, near where all the states touch. There are also clusters in the north area of Colorado and the west area of Arizona, and the north areas of Utah. This is important because it allows us to see where clusters are and if they align with poverty, age, or PM 2.5 data.
