Description
SURSIM assigns the same code to all persons within each household who had the same surname. Persons coded 1, including the household head, had the same surname as the household head. Other surnames are assigned codes in the order in which they appear within the household on the census form. Persons within a household who shared a surname will have the same code for this variable.
Codes and Frequencies
Comparability
For 1940 and 1950, persons sampled as individuals from within group quarters are coded N/A; in other years, such persons would receive the code 1 if they were the first person sampled from within group quarters. In other respects, this variable is comparable across years. Surnames are reported in the alphabetic variable NAMELAST for the 1850-1900 and 1920-1930 U.S. Censuses and for the 1910-1920 Puerto Rican Censuses.
