Difference between a Census and a Survey?

Every ten years, the federal government is Constitutionally required to conduct a census of the population. Specifically, this activity is performed by the U.S. Census Bureau, part of the Department of Commerce. In addition to recording the number of individuals in the country, the census also collects numerous amounts of other information, including age, gender, race, ethnicity, housing status, income, etc. These data provide the denominators for population statistics.

What information is legally required for the US Census?
"The actual Enumeration shall be made within three Years after the first Meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent Term of ten Years, in such Manner as they shall by Law direct."
What this specifically states is that an Enumeration (or a 'head-count' of the people as defined by the sentence preceding the above quoted sentence, and Amendment XIV, Section 2, of the Constitution) will be performed every ten years.
The final nine words (between the last comma and the period) are what this page was created to answer.
"...in such a Manner as they shall by Law direct."
The word 'Manner' means how the 'head-count' shall be performed.
The word 'they' refers to Congress, as mentioned in the first part of this Clause.
The word 'Law' is synonymous with Legislation.
Therefore, this Clause may be interpreted as follows:
Congress must count all persons in the United States every ten years in accordance with the Laws that have been enacted by Congress.
The Constitution does NOT limit the information that Congress may request in obtaining their Enumeration, except when that information might violate existing Amendments (i.e.: the IV Amendment (Illegal searches), or the V Amendment (Self incrimination)).
A census is potentially allowed to ask (as defined by Congress) race, age, gender and residency.
- Race shows what the ethnicity population or certain backgrounds is is areas.
- Age shows the age groups. It says the age range for the majority of the people.
- Gender shows sex. It shows the contrast between men and women.
- Residency shows how many people live in your house. If one person answered the questionnaire and there are 7 people living in the house and they weren't accounted for, that statistic wouldn't be accurate.
The 2010 US Census form contains 10 questions that should be filled out and mailed back to the government as soon as possible.
To find out what specific questions the Census is legally allowed to ask, and what questions you are legally obligated to answer, you would have to study Title 13 of the United States Code: This is the Instrument of Law that Congress has enacted, as the above sentence of the Constitution authorizes Congress to do, on how to carry out the Census, what questions may be asked, and the penalties may be levied against a person who fails to, or falsely, answers the questions in the Census.

What was the census of the US from 1610-1790?
There was no official US census until 1790. Some territories and states conducted censuses for various reasons before that, but there was no standard census. Beginning in 1790 a decennial census was conducted in accordance with the US Constitution that mandates the census as a means of apportioning the House of Representatives - determining how many representatives each state is entitled to.
Up until 1850 the only data on the census was the name of the head of the household and the number of people of various ages, sex, and race who lived in the household. Beginning in 1850 the name of each person in the household was recorded along with their ages, place of birth, and occupation. The questions asked on the census have varied, with the most complete data collected from 1900 and after. The census of 1890 was mostly burned in a fire and only a small amount of it survived. By law the individual census information is not released for publication for 72 years to protect the privacy of individuals. The last census available for viewing is 1930.
