Details

Question Respondent's relationship to household head. As of 2024, RPLACE has been recoded to only account for five categories, combining son/daughter-in-law, grand/great-grandchild, and parent/parent-in-law into the "Other relative" category. This has been retroactively applied to all previous years of RPLACE. The original RPLACE containing data 1975 to 2022 has been renamed RPLACE_7522.
