A Census is a head count of who is where, where they live, what age they are, what religeon they follow.
The modern reason is that the census gives government the ability to put services where people are now so that hospitals, government assistance agencies, state government roads rail shipping ports are where people live.
did the census scientists achieve their goal?
In a census, the goal is to count every individual in the population rather than sampling a subset. Therefore, if a population consists of 1,000,000 people, ideally, the census would aim to include all 1,000,000 individuals in the count, rather than sampling a smaller number.
Inferential statistical methods are used when data is collected from a sample in the population. Inferential statistics are used to generalize the results of the sample to the population. In a census you have data from each and every member of the population, so you just use descriptive statistics.
In a census, the goal is to count every individual in the population, so ideally, all 10,000,000 people would be sampled. However, in practice, there may be challenges such as non-response or inaccuracies, but the intention is to include the entire population in the census. Therefore, the sampled number is ideally 10,000,000.
The census, in many places, counts the population every 10 years.
There never has been a worldwide census. The census in the US that was conducted in 2010 was a census of people living in the US and its possessions.
Enumeration is one possible answer. The census is another.
"Senses" is a homonym for "census."

False. The main purpose of the U.S. Census is to count all residents in the country, regardless of their immigration status, to ensure accurate representation in Congress and the allocation of federal funds. While the Census collects demographic information, its primary goal is to provide a comprehensive snapshot of the population for planning and resource distribution, not to identify or deport illegal immigrants.
The most recent census in Germany was conducted in 2011. The next census is scheduled for 2021.
