About this dataset and its counting rules
Statistics count the spelling “Kohl” as recorded by the publisher. When a spelling has several independent origins, the counts are not split between them. Counts measure applications. Gaps are years without a published value, not zeros.
Rates per million are unavailable for this series because no compatible denominator has been imported.
- Universe
- US national Social Security card applications by name, sex and birth year; not a complete birth registry, especially before 1937.
- Rounding
- Integer application counts retained without rounding.
- Suppression
- Only names with at least 5 occurrences in a year and sex are included. Missing observations are not zeros.
- Ranking
- computed by NameStoria from published counts; ties share a rank, next rank skips. The mirror's derived rank column is not used.
