Final Results of Population Count 1996
The reference date of Population Count 1996 was 08/01/96. Consequently, all the preliminary and final results refer to this date. According to the political and administrative division of the country at the time, there were 4,974 municipalities.
IBGE has decided to release the preliminary results of Population Count in order to inform about the resident population of all the Brazilian municipalities, including the 533 ones created on 01/01/97, because the figures released would correspond to the population of these municipalities in case they had already been created on 08/01/96. The municipalities which originated those created on 01/01/97 had their populations presented without the amount ceded to new municipalities
The results released are also made available to Internet users, on the IBGE web site.
These results are also available in a printed version, in a volume containing data relative to characteristics of the population and of the housing unit, at municipal level, through tables, graphs and cartograms. There is also a system for the recovery of data and the analysis of cartograms and graphs, available in a CD-ROM.
