Considering that address and date of birth strongly predict most of the digits of the SSN, this is pretty bad. Consider further than even name can predict SSN (people named Stein more likely to have been born at the Jewish hospital, and SSNs are sharded by hospital).

SSN is not a secret. End of story.
