List of cities in Brazil by population facts for kids
Brazil is a country where most people live in cities. About 87.8% of Brazilians live in urban areas or large city regions. This means that many people live close together in developed places.
The official group that studies Brazil's population, called the IBGE, decides if a place is "urban" or "rural" based on its political boundaries, not just how built-up it is.
Today, Brazil has 5,570 cities. This includes 5,568 municipalities (like local government areas), plus the capital city, Brasília, and the Island of Fernando de Noronha.
Most state capitals in Brazil are also the biggest cities in their states. But there are two exceptions:
- Florianópolis, the capital of Santa Catarina, is the second-largest city in its state, after Joinville.
- Vitória is the capital of Espírito Santo, but it's only the fourth-largest city there. However, it is part of the state's biggest city area, called Greater Vitória.
Brazil's Biggest Cities
This list shows the cities with the most people in Brazil. The numbers are based on the population of the city's local government area (called a municipality), not the larger metropolitan area around it. For Brasília, the population shown is for the entire Federal District, which is considered the same as Brasília.
The numbers come from the IBGE Census. The 2010 census was taken on August 1, 2010, and the 2022 census was taken later.
In the table below:
- State capitals are shown in bold.
- The largest city in each state (if it's not the capital) is shown in italics.
