A census would get data from 100% of the population (or at least close to 100%). Sampling would be to get data from some of the population (much less than 100%).
A population survey, better known as a census, entails the collection of each unit in the population. In sample survey information is collected from a subset of the population. The subset, or sample, needs to be selected carefully so that it is representative of the whole population and, if that requirement is met, statistics based on the sample are good estimators for the corresponding population parameters.
A census is the gathering of data from an entire population.
A sample survey is asked of a limited group of people, while a census is conducted in an attempted to get an answer from all people in a geographical area.
population is amount of people. census is the record of a certain statistic, and the information is from the population. Example: the United States census shows that dogs are the most popular pet in California.
The main difference between sampling and census is that in sampling, a subset of the population is selected and studied to make inferences about the entire population, while in a census, data is collected from every individual or element in the population. Sampling is more cost-effective and less time-consuming compared to a census, which requires resources to collect information from every unit in the population.
A Census is the type of survey for a complete population. A Sample Survey is only a portion of the population which is used to make predictions on the representation of the actual population.
A census aims to collect data from an entire population, while a survey gathers information from a sample of the population. Censuses are comprehensive and usually mandatory, whereas surveys are typically voluntary and sample-based. Censuses are used to provide official population counts and demographic data, while surveys are often conducted to gather specific information on a particular topic.
