Abstract: In this paper, we analyze the evolution of the completeness of death counts coverage in Brazil and its regions since 1980. We review a series of studies on the quality of mortality registration for the country, states and small areas, compare and contrast different approaches and results. We also investigate the quality of the 2010 Census data regarding the information on household deaths in 2010 to results obtained using the Ministry of Health Mortality Information System. Finally, we produce estimates at the city level and discuss the limitation and importance of producing small areas demographic estimation for public health planning and population forecasts.
