Crescimento Demográfico no Estado da Bahia, 2000 A 2010:Uma Contribuição Estatístico-Cartográfica
Resumo
O trabalho analisa a diversidade recente (2000 a 2010) da
população total do Estado da Bahia, das Microrregiões Geográficas, da
população urbana, da população das cidades e da população rural segundo
dados oficiais dos Censos Demográficos de 2000 e 2010. As análises
demográficas foram espacializadas através da representação cartográfica
que se baseia em classificação, priorizando as quebras naturais dos
dados. O crescimento da população total do Estado de 7,27%, na última
década (ou 0,70% a.a.), foi inferior ao da década anterior e inferior ao
do Nordeste e do Brasil. A população urbana cresceu 15,16% (1,42%
a.a.), a população das cidades, 14,59% (1,37% a.a.) e a população rural,
-8,92% (-0,93% a.a.). As taxas são bastante diversificadas segundo as
Microrregiões e os municípios. O crescimento das cidades médias foi
superior, em seu conjunto, ao crescimento de Salvador e de sua Região
Metropolitana, fato que ocorre pela primeira vez no Estado da Bahia,
indicando uma importante redução da primazia da capital e da Região
Metropolitana de Salvador. As mudanças em curso são de fundamental
importância para orientar a formulação de políticas públicas mais
eficientes e justas em toda a extensão do território baiano.
Abstract
POPULATION GROWTH IN THE STATE OF BAHIA, 2000 TO 2010: A STATISTICALCARTOGRAPHIC CONTRIBUTION
The paper examines the recent diversity (2000 to 2010) of the total population of the State of Bahia, micro-regions, urban population, population of cities and the rural population. Official data from Brazilian Censuses of 2000 and 2010 were used. Demographic spatial analyses were produced through the cartographic representation based on natural breaks classification from data. The State’s total population growth of 7.27% in the last decade (or 0.70% p.a.), was lower than the previous decade and is lower than in the Northeast and in Brazil. The urban population grew 15.16% (1.42% p.a.), the population of cities, 14.59% (1.37% p.a.) and the rural population, -8.93% (-0.93% p.a.) The rates are quite diversified according to the micro-regions and municipalities. The average growth of cities was higher than the growth of Salvador and its metropolitan area. It is a fact which occurs for the first time in the State of Bahia and indicates an important reduction of the primacy of the capital and the metropolitan region of Salvador. Ongoing changes are of fundamental importance to guide the formulation of public policies more efficient and fair throughout the territory of Bahia.
