Mortality rate per 100,000 people, adjusted for age
Adjusted so that differences in the age of the population don't skew the comparison between NL and Canada.
| Cause | NL rate ↓ | Canada rate | NL ÷ Canada |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accidents (unintentional injuries) | 46.4 | 49.1 | 0.95× |
| Intentional self-harm (suicide) | 15.8 | 9.3 | 1.70× |
| Assault (homicide) | 0.6 | 1.1 | 0.55× |
Rates are per 100,000 population. "Suppressed" means the source data withholds the figure (too few events to report reliably).
