^1 The 1900, 1920, and 1970 censuses did not count people for "race".

^2 In the 1872 census, people were counted based on self-declaration, except for slaves, who were classified by their owners.[5]

^3 The 1872 and 1890 censuses counted "caboclos" (White-Amerindian mixed race people) apart.[6] In the 1890 census, the category "pardo" was replaced with "mestiço".[6] Figures for 1890 are available at the IBGE site.[7]

^4 In the 1940 census, people were asked for their "color or race"; if the answer was not "White", "Black", or "Yellow", interviewers were instructed to fill the "color or race" box with a slash. These slashes were later totaled in the category "pardo". In practice this means answers such as "pardo", "moreno", "mulato", "caboclo", etc.[8]

^5 In the 1950 census, the category "pardo" was included on its own. Amerindians were counted as "pardos".[9]

^6 The 1960 census adopted a similar system, again explicitly including Amerindians as "pardos".[10]
