Yearly data from 2000 to 2021, from the World Bank.
Norway's suicide mortality rate, male (per 100,000 male population) was 18.86 in 2021, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 3.4% from 18.24 in 2011 (0.33% a year on average, compounded).
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 18.86 | 2021 |
| Five years earlier | 16.03 | 2016 |
| Ten years earlier | 18.24 | 2011 |
| Highest | 19.19 | 2000 |
| Lowest | 14.67 | 2008 |
| Average since 2012 | 16.57 | 2012–2021 |
| First recorded | 19.19 | 2000 |
Over five years it is up 17.65% from 16.03 in 2016 (3.31% a year on average, compounded). Since 2000 it is down 1.72% from 19.19 in 2000 (0.08% a year on average, compounded).
In 2021, Norway's suicide mortality rate, male (per 100,000 male population) rose 1.25 on 2020 (from 17.61 to 18.86).
Across the 20 yearly changes before that (2001 to 2020), the average change was −0.08 and a typical year strayed about 1.59 from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 standard deviations above that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 3.12 in 2009 and the biggest yearly fall was 3.01 in 2012. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2012 to 2021 the straight-line trend is upward, about 0.41 a year. A straight line explains 77% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2021, Norway had the 43rd highest value of the 185 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

Suicide mortality rate is the number of suicide deaths in a year per 100,000 population. Crude suicide rate (not age-adjusted).
Limitations: Due to changes in input data and methods, the revisions of the data are not comparable to previously published estimates.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
