It is easier to collect 'attribute' data than it is to collect 'variable' data.
Explanation:
Attribute data has to do with numbers. It has characteristics which can be counted and provides less information than variable data does.
Variable data deals more with measurements and usually goes further to give more information than what can be obtained from attribute data.
