Description
HEADLOC gives the person number (PERNUM) of the head of household in samples in which persons are organized into households.
Comparability — General
Some samples do not have heads for all households, particularly for collective dwellings (group quarters).
Family interrelationship variables were constructed using different algorithms in historical samples than those used for modern samples. In pre-1950 samples, surnames are often available and help determine relationships. The historical samples also rely more on record order when there is uncertainty determining the relationship.
