Veterans suicides is one statistic where White Americans are worse off than others. They died by their own hands at more than twice the rate of Black vets. The 2020 suicide rate was 34.2 among 100,000 White veterans; 30.2 for Asian, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander veterans; 29.8 for American Indians or Alaska Natives; 18.6 for Hispanic Americans; and 14.2 for African American veterans. Male vets died by suicide at more than twice the rate of females.
