'A figure of zero indicates that we don't have data for this name (usually because it's quite uncommon and our stats don't go down that far). It doesn't mean that there's no-one with that name at all!
For less common surnames, the figures get progressively less reliable the fewer holders of that name there are. This data is aggregated from several public lists, and some stats are interpolated from known values. The margin of error is well over 100% at the rarest end of the table!
For less common surnames, the frequency and "per million" values may be 0 even though there are people with that name. That's because they represent less than one in a million of the population, which ends up as 0 after rounding.
It's possible for a surname to gain in rank and/or total while being less common per million people (or vice versa) as there are now more surnames in the USA as a result of immigration. In mathematical terms, the tail has got longer, with a far larger number of less common surnames.

REACH is a genuine surname, but it's an uncommon one. Did you possibly mean one of these instead?
REACH. In the South, means a creek, and sometimes a part of a river more than usually straight. A Scottish family-name of the same orthography is jironounced as a dissyllable, with the ch hard, He-ach, and is referred to a Celtic origin. A gentleman dining in a mixed company with one of the pi-oprietors of this name, whom he only knew by his writings, naturally enough called him IMr. Reach {ck soft), and was corrected with the observation, that ch should be sounded like k. " I beg Mr. Re-acli's paixlon," promptly replied the offender, "and as he is presiding over the dessert, I'll just trouble him to send me a jje-aekP''
