Those in the lowest income quintile had the highest rate of consideration of suicide in their lifetime (23.4%) in 2015/16, which was statistically significant from all other quintile groups. The trend shows that ever having considered suicide decreases as income increases with 6.2% of those in the top two quintiles reporting they had ever considered suicide.
