Problems

is named.
- Ages are bracketed into coded
ranges.
- Those age ranges vary from
two to 20 years,
- The ranges change from year
to year.
- The 1820 census, for example,
is modified from the 1810 census.
- And the 1830 census is modified
from that.
- Analyzing those data causes
errors and confusion.
