UH_FAMINC_A1 is an 11-digit numeric variable.
bottom value = -99999

Description

Total family income - 1963-1967

Unicon Corporation made the following notes about this variable:
Construction: sum of all incomes for all family members
Warning: The maximum in 1963 is WAY TOO HIGH. See Appendix Y for discussion of income threshold effects on low-income items.

There are two records in 1963 that have a value of 945 120431. This value is an outlier and, as Unicon noted, is suspect. In order to maintain the numeric nature of this variable, IPUMS CPS filled that blank space with a 0.

These string values in the original data have been recoded as follows:

blank => -9999999999 : Missing
945B120431 => 9450120431 : 9450120431
