). Metropolitan areas had higher homicide rates than rural areas . Comparing all-intents firearm fatality rates over time by sex, males had persistently higher overall annual firearm fatality rates than females, particularly among those aged 20 to 39 years and 70 years or older. Males had higher rates of suicide and homicide compared with females.
