The 1872 Brazilian census was the first census carried out in Brazilian territory, during the imperial period.[1] All residents in private and collective households (called "fogos") who were in it on the reference date of the census, which was 1 August 1872, were censused. The population was distributed according to color, sex, free or slave status, marital status, nationality, occupation and religion.[2]
