The imgur link is misleading because it's not per capita and doesn't show the 0 point.

We are nowhere near the peak of the 1990's, nor are we at 1995 levels.

Rates trended downward in 2022, and mid-year 2023 estimates were downwards another 9.4% relative to 2022:

Which would be back to pre-2020 levels.

Thx -- your graph is the better one.

There's still a clear inflection point at 2014.
