This study aims to explore the small-area characteristics that determine the relative risk of suicide of administrative districts in a city. The study unit is basic administrative districts, ’Dong’s, in Seoul. Data on the socio-demographic and physical environment factors and suicide rates of 423 administrative districts were collected by 2015. Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance with follow-up contrast statements and multinomial logistic regression. Results are follows. First, the small-area characteristics in dong level were significantly different by suicide risk area groups even in one city. Second, the determinants of suicide-moderately risk area in comparison to the suicide - low risk area were the number of basic livelihood recipients and the number of elderly population. The higher the number of recipients, the higher the odds ratio that belongs to the suicide-moderately risk area, while the number of elderly population with the lower odds ratio. Third, the determinants of suicide-high risk area in comparison to the suicide - low risk area were the number of basic recipients and the number of divorce, the number of hospitals and the area of the park. The influence of suicide risk factors was found to be more variable and stronger in the high - risk suicide area. Based on the results, practical and policy implications were discussed.
