In 2023, the share of urban population in Brazil remained nearly unchanged at around 87.79 percent. Nevertheless, 2023 still represents a peak in the share in Brazil with 87.79 percent. A population may be defined as urban depending on the size (population or area) or population density of the village, town, or city. The urbanization rate then refers to the share of the total population who live in an urban setting. International comparisons may be inconsistent due to differing parameters for what constitutes an urban center.
