Description

Family ID within household - 1989-2024

Unicon Corporation made the following notes about this variable:
This variable is the same as famsub for 1962-1975. In 1994 and 1995 there appear to be duplicate famnum's within household. The Census response (10/98) to this matter follows: 'There is a problem with the household id's in 1994 and 1995 in that there is not enough detail present in the 12 digit number. This number must be concatenated with the census state code to make these numbers more unique.'
