Utilizing data from the 2022 Brazilian Demographic Census provided by IBGE, I have crafted a map showcasing the population of each Brazilian state. Notably, São Paulo stands out as the most populous state, with a population twice the size of the second-largest state, Rio de Janeiro.

This map's creation involved a rigorous process of geospatial analysis and data manipulation. It began with aggregating population figures by state, a task involving extensive data handling and validation procedures. The resulting map employs a graduated color scheme to represent varying population sizes across states, with deeper shades indicating higher population counts.

In particular, São Paulo's substantial population is strikingly evident, emphasizing its status as Brazil's most populous state. This map offers invaluable insights into the demographic distribution and regional population disparities within the country.
