The IBGE carried out one more update on the list of municipal subdivisions of the country. In relation to the previous year, the current survey, referring to 2021, brings the addition of 18 municipal districts, all of which in Minas Gerais. The tables with this information can be accessed on the IBGE website, by clicking here.
The Brazilian Territorial Division details the country's territorial structure, enumerating the Macroregions, Federation Units, Mesoregions, Microregions and Municipalities, in addition to their internal subdivisions, the districts and sub-districts or administrative regions. The IBGE systematizes all this database, monitoring eventual changes in the Political-Administrative Division, through annual updates.
In the most recent survey, relative to 2021, the Brazilian territorial structure maintains its 5,568 municipalities, the same number as in 2013. In addition to the municipalities, there are also a federal district (Brasília) and a state district in Pernambuco (Fernando de Noronha).
On the other hand, intra-municipal divisions undergo changes with a greater dynamism. In 2021, there were 10,649 municipal districts against 10,631 in 2020. The number of sub-districts remains the same: 683.
The differences refer to the extinction of municipal districts by the municipalities, which is seen in the IBGE records.
All the 18 new districts are located in municipalities in the state of Minas Gerais, with a highlight to the municipality of Governador Valadares (4 new ones), Miraí (2) and Conceição do Mato Dentro (2).
