View Definition, Source & Notes

Definition: Number of firearm-related deaths per 100,000 children and young adults ages 0-24, by gender and cause (e.g., in 2020, the rate of suicide due to firearms among California boys and young men was 1.8 per 100,000).

Data Source: CDC WONDER Online Database, Underlying Cause of Death (Aug. 2026).

Footnote: The notation S refers to rates that have been suppressed because there were fewer than 20 firearm-related child and young adult deaths in that group, and to numbers and rates that have been suppressed to protect confidentiality.
