United States

The United States profile combines strong coverage for four signals with a clear gap for the connected child-labour series.

What the available evidence suggests

The available suicide rate is well above the global 2021 estimate, while the homicide rate is close to the 2023 global value. Consumption-based CO₂ per person is more than three times the latest global figure. These comparisons identify questions; they do not explain causes.

The most important limitation

National averages conceal large differences between states, communities and population groups. A comparable current child-labour observation is not available in the connected series.

Compare one indicator with a matching benchmark

The US homicide value of 5.76 and global value of 5.20 both refer to 2023 in the displayed snapshot. Their difference is 0.56 per 100,000. That difference describes an aggregate rate; it does not show which states, age groups or communities account for it.

The consumption footprint of 15.81 tonnes per person is for 2023. Canada’s 13.23 is also for 2023, giving a difference of 2.58 tonnes per person within this source family. Do not interpret that national difference as the saving from a particular household action. A follow-up analysis should separate the measurement boundary from an explanation of energy use or consumption patterns.

Interpretation added 13 September 2026 using the dated snapshot above and, where named, the linked country profiles. Calculations are illustrative comparisons of those published values; underlying observations have not been refreshed in this edit.

How to read this profile

  • Compare values only when units and definitions match.
  • Keep the observation year beside every claim.
  • Treat expert-coded expression data differently from administrative death statistics.
  • Read consumption-based carbon in its original physical unit, independently of the other indicators.
  • Never convert missing data into zero.
