Only in terms of cost, time to complete, resources-those kinds of measures. A census provides complete information if done properly which is not possible with just a sample. A sample is always subject to sampling error.

∙ 10y agoFirst of all, it's important to note that many essential statistical tasks cannot be performed without completing a census first. However, a census requires making all possible efforts to find all members of a population, which can prove very expensive. In comparison a sample survey can produce acceptable, useful results on the basis of answers from a much smaller number of people.

Difference between a Census and a Survey?
A census is a statistical enumeration and analysis of a certain population, be it humans, animals or plants - groups that grow and change over time. A survey can be a tally of opinions or answers. See "Family Feud" when Richard Dawson says, "Survey says...!!!!"

Why do you think a survey is used more often than a census?
A survey is used more often than a census because a census requires everybody to respond, while a survey only needs a few people.

When do you use sampling techniques?
If it is too time consuming and/or expensive to analyse the whole population of interest you can take a sample instead. If the survey is conducted using correct sampling techniques (e.g. randomised selection, adequate sample size, etc.) the survey can tell you just as much as basing your results on a census.
How can be reduced a sampling error and non sampling error?
ome suggested ways: Larger samples, Better sample design, Better measurement, Better data validation, Better survey/questionnaire design.
