Description

UNREL indicates the number of persons in the household who are unrelated to the head as defined in the variable RELATE.

Comparability — General

This variable is fully comparable across all samples for which it is available.

The main purpose of UNREL is to enable researchers to impose a consistent threshold for defining group quarters status. Group quarters -- also called collective dwellings and institutions -- are only unevenly identified and are often ill-defined in the various samples. With UNREL users can define all households with more than a chosen number of unrelated persons as group quarters.

See also GQ (group quarters status).

UNREL is not available for the individual-level samples that do not include entire households. It is not available for samples that combine "other relatives" and unrelated persons in the same category in the RELATE variable. It is also not available for samples where the relationship to head is unknown for persons in subfamilies.
