Accuracy
Since, all items are studied under census survey, highest degree of accuracy is possible.
Since only representative samples are studied under sample survey, it is less accurate.
4.
Time
Census survey is very time consuming as all items are studied.
Sample survey is less time consuming as only samples are studied.
5.
Nature of Items
Census survey is suitable when items in the universe have diverse characteristics.
