Suicide ideation remains a pressing public health concern shaped by multiple sociodemographic determinants. Exploring the role of education, residence, and income alongside other demographic factors provides deeper insights into vulnerable groups and informs preventive strategies. The study assessed suicide ideation across a sample diverse in age, gender, qualification, marital status, family type, residence, and income levels. A majority of respondents were 18-30 years (57%), predominantly female (55%), and largely graduates (40%) or postgraduates (23%). Residential status revealed a significant urban concentration (70% urban vs. 30% rural). Income levels varied widely, with nearly one-third earning below ₹10,000 (30%), while others fell into the middle-income range of ₹50,001-₹100,000 (30%). Findings revealed that younger adults are disproportionately vulnerable to suicide ideation, often due to academic stress, uncertain career pathways, and relational challenges. Urban residents reported higher ideation, reflecting the impact of modernization, isolation, and competitive lifestyles. Educational attainment, while linked with awareness, also appeared to amplify pressure, with graduates and postgraduates facing heightened expectations. Income disparities showed a dual effect—financial insecurity among low-income groups and stress due to performance and aspirations among middle-income individuals. Sociodemographic factors significantly influence suicidal thoughts, with youth, urban populations, educated individuals, and financially strained groups being especially at risk. Targeted interventions must address youth-centric counseling, urban mental health services, financial stress management, and family-based support systems. Policymakers and practitioners should adopt socioculturally sensitive approaches to reduce stigma, expand access to care, and build community resilience.
