Welcome to Latinometrics. We bring you Latin American insights and trends through concise, thought-provoking data visualizations.
At over 200M citizens, Brazil is not merely Latin America’s largest country—it’s the seventh-most populous country worldwide, behind Nigeria and ahead of Bangladesh.
But because so much incredible culture, music, and food is hard to contain within just one continental country, the rest of the world is lucky enough to count 5M Brazilians living abroad, with the United States attracting just about 40% of these.
Now, if we tell you that New York, Miami, and Orlando are home to half of all Brazilians living in the US, that wouldn’t surprise you, right? After all, anyone who’s ever visited Disneyworld – or a particularly lively Miami nightclub – knows that the Brazilian presence is inescapable.
But Boston somehow attracted 420K Brazilians, more than any other single city besides the Big Apple? Now that’s surprising.
From Nagoya to New York: 5M Brazilians living abroad
