Interesting to see the differences in the German cities.

Seems that the smaller the city, the lower the suicide rate.

Perhaps it is because you are more emotionally and socially connected to everyone near by to get better support and care?

I know in the US it's the opposite with higher suicide rates in more rural areas.

In U.S. rural areas can very be sparsely populated , the effect of neighbors and family nearby may not be as strong perhaps.

Or perhaps this could be because job losses have had heavier impact on industries based in the cities, like travel and tourism and less so in rural towns, which in turn kept the rates lower.
