2022 Brazilian Census

Hi! Brazil just finished the 2022 Census and the results came out a couple months ago. The population of São Paulo has changed, and therefore I believe the rankings would change as well. Here are screenshots taken from IBGE's Census website (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) with the number of residents and density of both the City and the Metropolitan Area of São Paulo.

p.s.: we use comma for decimals. unfortunately I wasn't able to find an english option on the website but still, hope this helps :) Merzipan (talk) 21:17, 17 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 31 July 2023

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

In this phrase:

the city proper population figure may differ greatly with the urban area population figure

please change "with" to "from", because "differ with" doesn't make sense unless you're talking correlation and causation. 123.51.107.94 (talk) 01:47, 31 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
