survey or census them


Explanation:
"...making it difficult to survey or census them" (the nouns become verbs). These concepts are not exactly the same. Whereas a census starts with a nose count and then (but not always) goes no deeper, a survey is more likely to gather subjective responses from a sampling of the population.
