Note:

The Brazil Population counter, maintained by Worldometer, displays a real-time estimate of the current population in Brazil. This estimate is generated by the RTS algorithm, which uses data from the United Nations Population Division.

The Population of Brazil chart, covering the years 1950 to 2019, displays the total population count as of July 1st of each year.

In addition, the Yearly Population Growth Rate chart shows the annual percentage changes in population, based on data from July 1st of each year from 1951 to 2019. It is important to note that this value may differ from the Yearly % Change indicated in the historical table, which calculates the percentage change over a five-year period and assumes a consistent rate of change.
