Estimate and Census
Every year IBGE publishes an estimate of the population of each municipality and of the country. After each Census (the latest was in 2022) the estimates are recalibrated, so the series has a small jump in the middle. Brazil is the seventh most populous country in the world.
How the counter works
The counter on the page projects IBGE's estimate using the growth pace of the last year. It is an estimate, not a head count.
