Before you draw conclusions

What this data will not tell you


Every spelling is counted separately.

Counts before about 1937 are undercounts.: Social Security numbers only became near-universal at birth in the late 1930s; earlier years count only people who eventually applied for a card. The further back the window reaches, the more births are missing entirely — treat pre-1937 levels as a floor, not a measurement.
