Unicon Corporation made the following notes about this variable:
In April 2004 forward ages at the top end are grouped at 80 then 85. Comparison to counts from earlier years indicate that 80 can be interpreted as '80-84' and 85 can be interpreted as '85+'. Census confirms these interpretations.

Top coded records are indicated by UH_AGETOP_B1.
