A survey is used more often than a census because a census requires everybody to respond, while a survey only needs a few people. This means a survey is advantageous for many reasons:
- It doesn't matter if not everyone responds, you can just survey more people.
- It is much cheaper to survey than hold a census.
- It is less effort to hold a survey than hold a census.
- It takes less time to hold a survey than hold a census.

Which one is more accurance census or sample survey?
The census surveys all members of the population. If the objective of the survey is to find representative values of certain attributes, say how much does the average fisherman make in Alaska, then certainly a survey that includes all fisherman should be more accurate. If all members of the population are surveyed, then the resultant summary values would be considered parameters rather than statistics. For example:no statistical inference is made if I state there are 1,000 fisherman in Alaska, and a tally of all of them, shows their average income is $20,000. I can say that a census should be more accurate than a sample survey, provided all other factors are the same and precautions are taken to obtain reliable data. A census conducted in a biased manner will not provide accurate parameters.
Advantages of census over sample survey?
It is more accurate, unbiased and includes every item in the population, whereas sampling may be biased, and sampling is not totally representative.
