The 2022 Brazilian Census was the thirteenth national population census in Brazilian history, and took place on August 1, 2022. It was intended to take place in 2020, but postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and budgetary issues.
Originally, the census, being carried out decennially, was supposed to take place in mid-2020. However, due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics changed the date to 2021. [1]
However, in early 2021, the budget of census was cut from around 2 billion reais to only 240 million, only 12% of the original value. [2] The census was pushed again, with Brazil's Supreme Court ruling that the government had to perform the census in 2022. [3]
While the original reference date was June 1, 2022, the IBGE changed the date to August 1, 2022, due to the change in the company that would hire the workers. [4]

Brazil is a predominantly Christian country with Islam being a minority religion, first brought by African slaves and then by Lebanese and Syrian immigrants. Due to the secular nature of Brazil's constitution, Muslims are free to proselytize and build places of worship in the country. However, Islam isn't independently included in charts and graphics representing religions in Brazil due to its very small size, being grouped in "other religions", which generally represent about 1% of the country's population. The number of Muslims in Brazil, according to the 2010 census, was 35,207 out of a population of approximately 191 million people. This corresponds to 0.018% of the Brazilian population.
