The IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) will release the latest data from the 2022 census only next year, four years after it was collected.
After a series of publication of the results of the declines over the past two years, the final stage of publication, scheduled for December 4, is scheduled to be postponed for a period of 60 days, according to the investigation. Bound.
The institute published a memorandum on its website this morning, Friday (28), in which it changed December 4th to “an appropriate date that will be determined,” without explaining the reason for the postponement.
The latest edition deals with the so-called microdata sample, which is the most specific information from the entire data set because it is derived from a broad questionnaire conducted by census takers in the homes of a selected segment of the population.
According to IBGE, it is “the lowest level of classifying research data, depicting the content of questionnaires in the form of digital codes, and maintaining the confidentiality of the information.”
Researchers and public policy makers, in particular, expect partial data. They provide a more detailed overview of the social and demographic reality with characteristics of neighborhoods or areas in urban centers.
IBGE has released several thematic releases containing general data from the 2022 Census, such as housing, population, gender, ethnicity, religion, mobility and income. Microdata allow us to know, for example, not only the number of evangelicals, but also evangelical denominations, such as Baptists, Methodists, and Presbyterians.
In a memo, IBGE says that on the same date, it will publish weighting areas: the minimum regional units used to weight and publish sample data.
