How Brazil's population is changing
Brazil records about 7,069 births and 4,118 deaths a day. That is a natural increase of roughly 2,951 people per day, or about 1.08 million a year before migration is counted.
Net migration runs at about 217,283 over the reported period, with more people leaving than arriving. That is equivalent to about 20% of its natural change.
If the current rate held indefinitely, Brazil would take roughly 181 years to double in size — a projection of today's rate, not a forecast.
Over the 9 years from 2016 to 2025, the population rose from 203.2 million to 212.8 million — a gain of 9.59 million, or 4.7%.
Where people live in Brazil
With about 25 people per square kilometre, Brazil is sparsely populated, well below the world average of 62. That ranks 97th of the 115 countries here. Its closest comparisons on density are Sweden and Peru.
Brazil covers about 8,358,140 km² of land, which is what turns a population of 212.8 million into that density figure.
About 88.2% of people live in urban areas, making Brazil almost entirely urban, above the world average of 57.8%. That works out to roughly 187.7 million town and city dwellers and 25.2 million living rurally.
Age, fertility and life expectancy in Brazil
Brazil has a broadly balanced age structure: about 19.4% are under 15 and 11.5% are 65 or older.
The total fertility rate is about 1.61 births per woman, below the ~2.1 replacement level, so without net immigration the population would eventually decline. The world figure is about 2.19.
Life expectancy at birth is about 76.0 years, roughly 2.5 years above the global average of 73.5.
