5. Confidentiality Measures Swap a small percentage of cases between geographic areas. Suppress low-level geographic variables. Recode geographic units to ensure small localities cannot be identified (typically those with fewer than 20,000 persons). For recent censuses: Recode cells representing very small numbers of persons in the population (into a residual or combined with a larger category). Top- or bottom-code continuous variables with a thin tail. Suppress specific categories of variables as requested by the NSO. Suppress entire variables as requested by the NSO.
