Codes

9999999 = NIU

The Census Bureau applies different disclosure avoidance measures across time for individuals with high income in this variable. Detailed explanations of these methods, topcodes, and replacement value and swap value thresholds are available here.

Description

INCCAPG reports the amount of capital gains the respondent earned from shares of stock or mutual funds for those age 15 and older who received dividend income during the previous year.
Amounts are expressed as they were reported in each year; users must adjust for inflation using Consumer Price Index adjustment factors or use the Adjust Monetary Values tool. Inflation-adjusted versions created with the Adjust Monetary Values tool will use the default reference year for the sample (i.e., survey year [YEAR] for basic monthly and previous year [YEAR-1] for ASEC).
