Actually, 203 million. The 2018 estimate was 214 million, which was corrected in the 2022 census. Kinda crazy that it was overestimated by 11M.

Well... the estimation for 2024 [1] is 212 million...

So it seems very likely that the 2022 census was also wrong (there was budget cuts on the institute who do the census, and it had several problems on doing it).

This was a big discussion here...

2022 census had lots of issues, IBGE (Brazil's statistics institute) was underfunded due to Bolsonaro's policies.
