List of cities in Brazil by population
Brazil has a high level of urbanization with 87.8%[1] of the population residing in urban and metropolitan areas. The criteria used by the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics)[2] in determining whether households are urban or rural, however, are based on political divisions, not on the developed environment.
![A map of Brazil, with purple circles denoting areas of high population in the year 2000. A large majority of the circles line Brazil's eastern coast.](../I/ARCHELLA_E_THERY_Img_06.png.webp)
Nowadays, the country has 5,570 cities, with 5,568 municipalities plus the capital and the Island of Fernando de Noronha.[3]
With two exceptions, the state capitals are all the largest cities in their respective states: Florianópolis, the capital of Santa Catarina is its second-largest city after Joinville, while Vitória is only the fourth-largest city in Espírito Santo, although it is located in that state's largest metropolitan area.
Most populous cities in Brazil
This is a list of the most populous cities based on the population of the municipality where the city is located, rather than its metropolitan area. As IBGE considers the entire Federal District synonymous to Brasília, the population of the Federal District is shown for Brasília.
- State capitals are in bold and states' largest cities are in italics.
