Who is Rich in Brazil?

alan279

Can someone point me to Brazilian income distribution by quintile? By state? By city?


Thanks for any advice.

Average monthly income by state ->


Average monthly income by percentile ->


Not sure how you will get by city...


Is this what you are looking for?

I use “Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística” website. You can google, for example, “IBGE Illheus”  or “IBGE Pancas” or any city name to look at the per capita income, population etc.. In Illheus per capita income is 32k BRL and Pancas it’s about 15k BRL. These figures are from the 2021 data. Their may be other sources as well.

I was looking for income by percentile, but income by state is helpful, too.


Thanks!

Note: nominal income is PER CAPITA on Statista.

The Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada (IPEA) might have something buried on their website about income by percentile.

Search for income by CLASS A, B, C. D, E.......that's how you find it. Its on the IBGE website and others, but it's buried inside PDF's on the site. Those are the economic buckets used for measurement with CLASS A being the highest. Thing is, I gave up trying to find what percentile of the population was in each class. It's probably listed somewhere too. As a footnote some of the organizations cherry pick reporting dates and forex rates, etc, when transcribing data to better fit the slant they advocate for. So watch for that.
