brpop provides annual population estimates for Brazilian
municipalities and functions to aggregate them by state (UF), health
region, sex, and age group. These data are useful for denominators in
demographic and epidemiological indicators, including age- and
sex-standardized rates.
| Source | Years | Detail | Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| IBGE censuses, count, and annual estimates | 2000–2025 | Municipality totals | Bundled with the package |
| DataSUS, original series | 2000–2021 | Municipality, sex, and age group | Downloaded from Zenodo |
| DataSUS, revised series | 2000–2024 | Municipality, sex, and age group | Downloaded from Zenodo |
| UFRN-PPGDem-LEPP | 2010–2030 | Municipality, sex, and age group | Downloaded from Zenodo |
The 2025 IBGE values are the revised municipal estimates sent to the
TCU on 2026-01-13. The bundled IBGE series can therefore be used without
an Internet connection. Larger sex- and age-specific files are hosted in
the versioned brpop Zenodo
deposit and cached locally by zendown after the first
download.
The package is being prepared for re-release on CRAN. Install the development version from GitHub with:
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("rfsaldanha/brpop")After the CRAN release, the stable version can be installed with:
install.packages("brpop")library(brpop)

]The established function names, arguments, source labels, and output column names are retained for compatibility with scripts written for earlier releases. See the function reference for the complete API and source-specific year coverage.
IBGE source workbooks and the reproducible preparation scripts are
kept in data-raw.
The latest official municipal files are available from the IBGE
2025 download directory.
