Kind of family, person level - 1989-2023

Unicon Corporation made the following notes about this variable:
A family is a group of 2+ people residing together and related by birth, marriage, or adoption. All such persons (including related subfamily members) are considered as members of one family. Beginning in 1980, unrelated subfamilies (referred to in the past as secondary families) are no longer included in the count of families, nor are the members of unrelated subfamilies included in th count of family members. A family household includes unrelated people living in the household. The number of family households equals the number of families however the number of family household MEMBERS can be more than the number of family MEMBERS which includes only the householder and relatives.
