Unicon Corporation made the following notes about this variable:
Warning: Comparisions of this variable with a created count variable (count if 0 lte age lte 17) indicate that hh18 values are too high in some years (2percent of the cases in 1990); in some, the hh18 value is higher than total count of people in the household (numper).
