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]
