Brazil has 203 million inhabitants, 10 million less than expected

The demographic study carried out last year counted a total of 203.062.512 inhabitants.

The number is 10,2 million lower than the estimated in 2021, of 213,3 million inhabitants, based on IBGE calculations on the residents of the 5.570 Brazilian municipalities.

However, the population of 203,1 million recorded in last year's study reflects a growth of 12,3 million people (+6,5%) compared to the previous census, carried out in 2010, IBGE reported.

Population growth, however, is slowing. The annual rate was 0,52%, half of that recorded in 2010 and the lowest since the first census in Brazil, in 1872, highlighted the institute in a note.

According to the results, the southeast region – São Paulo, Minas Gerais, Rio de Janeiro and Espírito Santo – concentrates the largest population, with almost 85 million, or 41,8% of the total.

The city of São Paulo, the largest in Latin America, has 11,5 million inhabitants. It is followed, by far, by Rio de Janeiro, with 6,2 million people and by Brasília, with 2,8 million.
