The median across all 184 countries WHO publishes is 8.3. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is below that median — which is a fact about death registration and population health, and not a judgement about the country or the people in it.
The published series, 2000–2021
WHO has published a figure for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in 22 of the years from 2000 to 2021. We show every one, with its range, below — and we deliberately do not describe the shape of it, because how suicides are investigated and coded can change enough within a country over two decades to move this line on its own, with no change in underlying risk. Read it for how consistent, or how volatile, the country's own published figure has been against its own published range, not as a verdict on direction.
The shaded band is WHO's published uncertainty range for each year, not a stylistic border — where it widens, WHO is less sure of the figure.

Read against Americas
Across the 33 countries in Americas that WHO publishes a figure for, the median is 6.5 per 100,000. Saint Vincent and the Grenadines sits below that level. Regional comparison is usually more informative than a world one, because neighbouring countries tend to share both the health systems and the death-registration practices that shape the number.

Nearest published rates to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines's. They have nothing else in common — this is only a way of seeing what the number sits beside.
What this number is not
It is an estimate with a published range, not a count. It depends heavily on how deaths are investigated and recorded in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, which differs between countries far more than most readers expect. And it describes a whole population over a year — it says nothing about any individual, including you.
WHO's range for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines spans about 67% of the estimate, close to the typical 76% — this is one of the better-registered figures in the set.
