Description

The Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE) provides official cartographic representations of the Brazilian territorial structure. This dataset contains 5,573 spatial units representing the municipal mesh of Brazil for the reference year 2025 (Malha Territorial 2025).

These 5,573 units comprise: - 5,569 municipalities (including Boa Esperança do Norte, MT, installed in 2025) - 1 Federal District (Brasília) - 1 State District (Fernando de Noronha) - 2 state operational water bodies (Lagoa dos Patos and Lagoa Mirim)

Municipalities (municípios) are the smallest autonomous administrative units in Brazil, each governed by a municipal administration (prefeitura and câmara municipal).

Note: Users performing regional aggregations should use the pre-aggregated IBGE collections (e.g., IBGE/IMEDIATAS/V2025, IBGE/INTERMEDIARIAS/V2025, IBGE/UF/V2025, IBGE/REGIOES/V2025) rather than running geometric unions across all 5,573 polygons to ensure accuracy and consistency with official hierarchies.

For more information on the methodology and technical specifications, visit the IBGE Municipal Mesh Documentation.
