acs_relshipp_to_relp

ACS and CPS microdata utilities

Recode relshipp to relp in ACS microdata.

Description

acs_relshipp_to_relp converts relshipp, the household relationship variable in ACS microdata from 2019 to present, to relp, the relationship variable in earlier samples.

In a dataset containing only relshipp, acs_relshipp_to_relp will recode relshipp to generate relp.

In a dataset containing both relshipp and relp (for example, a dataset formed by appending 2019 or later and 2018 or earlier samples), acs_relshipp_to_relp will, for observations where relp is missing and relshipp is not, populate relp with recoded values of relshipp.

By default, acs_relshipp_to_relp will create a value label for relp if one does not already exist.

Syntax

acs_relshipp_to_relp [, options]
Option Description
nolabel Do not assign value labels to relp.
