Population of Brazil: overview

Brazil has a population of 212,812,405 (2025 estimate), the 7th largest in the world — one of the ten most populous countries on Earth. Roughly 2.6% of humanity — about one in every 39 people on the planet — lives in Brazil. Brazil is part of the Latin America & Caribbean region and its capital is Brasilia.

Growth has slowed to 0.38% per year. In absolute terms that meant roughly 813,832 additional people over the past year. That growth comes despite net emigration of about 217,283 people in 2025.

The country is sparsely settled, with only about 25 people per km², spread across 8,358,140 km² of land. Most residents — 88% — live in urban areas.

The median age is 34.8 years. Fertility is well below replacement, at 1.61 children per woman. Life expectancy at birth is 76.0 years (2024).

UN projections suggest a roughly stable population through mid-century, at 217.49 million in 2050. The 2030 projection is 216,074,411.
