I'm looking for a table of suicide rates by US city. The closest I can 
find is a breakdown by state, found in the CDC's National Vital 
Statistics Report: Deaths, Final Data for 2003, issued April 19, 2006.

Context. Is there a corolation between casino gambling and high suicide 
rates? This is not necessarily backed up by Table 29. "Number of deaths, 
death rates, and age-adjusted death rates for major causes of death for 
the United States, and each State...." Nevada (19.4) is well above the 
national average (10.8), but finishes 3rd behind Wyoming and Montana. 
New Jersey (6.8) has one of the lowest suicide rates in the country.
