About this dataset and its counting rules

Statistics count the spelling “Leora” 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.
