The population of Brazil, as recorded by the 2008 PNAD, was approximately 190 million[235] (22.31 inhabitants per square kilometer), with a ratio of men to women of 0.95:1[236] and 83.75% of the population defined as urban.[237] The population is heavily concentrated in the Southeastern (79.8 million inhabitants) and Northeastern (53.5 million inhabitants) regions, while the two most extensive regions, the Center-West and the North, which together make up 64.12% of the Brazilian territory, have a total of only 29.1 million inhabitants.
The first census in Brazil was carried out in 1872 and recorded a population of 9,930,478.[238] From 1880 to 1930, 4 million Europeans arrived.[239] Brazil's population increased significantly between 1940 and 1970, due to a decline in the mortality rate, even though the birth rate underwent a slight decline. In the 1940s the annual population growth rate was 2.4%, rising to 3.0% in the 1950s and remaining at 2.9% in the 1960s, as life expectancy rose from 44 to 54 years[240] and to 72.6 years in 2007.[241] It has been steadily falling since the 1960s, from 3.04% per year between 1950–1960 to 1.05% in 2008 and is expected to fall to a negative value of –0.29% by 2050 [242] thus completing the demographic transition.[243]
