Brazilian municipalities population estimates from 2000 to 2025

These estimates were made for the DATASUS from the Brazilian Ministry of Health by the CGI Demográfico/RIPSA e CGIAE/SVSA/Ministério da Saúde.

I gather the brute data available at the datasus ftp [ftp://ftp.datasus.gov.br/dissemin/publicos/IBGE/POPSVS/], also available at TABNET. The long file popBR2000-2025.long.csv contains the population for each municipality (with name and IBGE 6-digit code) by year. The columns are

  • MUNCOD - Municipality IBGE 6-digit code
  • MUN - Municicipality name
  • Ano - Year of the estimate
  • POP - Estimated population. For years 2000, 2010 and 2022 data came from IBGE census.

This code allows you to download the file directly from my github:

pop.git <- read.csv("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lsbastos/popBR_mun/refs/heads/master/popBR2000-2025.long.csv")

All brute files are available at the folder brute/.
