Censo 2010 shows that Brazilan population in 2.5 million smaller than projections

On 11/29/2010, IBGE announced the results of Censo 2010 which counted 190,732,694 people for the Brazilian population on August 1st, reference date, it was less than the 193,296,475 projected by IBGE.

This number shows that Brazilian population growth reached 12.3%, it was inferior than what what was observed in the previous decade (15.6% between 1991 and 2000).

Data about population and density presented by Teleco don't use these new values and will be reviewed after the publishment of IBGE's new estimations about the Brazilian population.

New IBGE's population counting

In 2007 IBGE provided a partial "censo" (survey) of the population what leaded to a review bellow the estimations for the Brazilian population. The estimation of 191.8 million of population in Brazil in 2008 was reduced to 189.6 million.

In other words, telecom services densities in Brazil are a bit higher than those considered. Teleco'll review all the numbers when IBGE release a review from its population projects.
