Top 5 largest cities (municipalities, the city proper):
São Paulo - 11,451,245 inhabitants
Rio de Janeiro - 6,211,423 inhabitants
BrasÃlia (whole Federal District) - 2,817,068 inhabitants
Fortaleza - 2,428,678 inhabitants
Salvador - 2,418,005 inhabitants
That's a lot of Brazilians. How is the ethnic make up? What about social class? Did the census account for this? Middle class growing, stable, thrinking (hope not on the last one)? Is the population getting older? Did the share of men and women change?

Those data were not released yet. Only the data about number of households and inhabitants in each state and municipality.
Brasilia is becoming the third largest metropolis in Brazil, apart from the development and population that Brasilia helps attract to the entire Brazilian Midwest. Impressive, JK's planning came true 7 decades later.
In the last full census in 2010 it was expected to have 220 million in 2020, then it was revised to 2016, then 210 and a few months before the start of the census, 208 million. Now we know the real number is 203 million.
In any case, it is a good number for the size of the country, and now the interior of Brazil is well populated.
My grandfather used to say that in the 40's and 50's there were government campaigns on the radio that said let's be 200 million Brazilians in the year 2000, have children for Brazil.
In 1880 Brazil had 10 million inhabitants, plus 5 or 6 million Europeans and 300.000 Japanese who immigrated since then, it has been a great growth.
To compare the USA has received 40 million Europeans, apart from the large immigration of spanish Americans in recent decades.

In Brazil half the population is lower middle class, or working class.
Rich and upper middle class between 20 and 25%.
Poor who live partially or fully on government social benefits fluctuates between 25 and 30%.
48% of the population is white, 40% is mixed race, biracial or triracial, at least 10% is black, 2% is pure indian or asian.
Birth rate of 1.7 so yes population getting older and by mid-century it will start to decline.
