Download official spatial data sets of Brazil as QGIS layers
About
Easy access to official spatial data sets of Brazil. The plugin offers a wide range of official spatial data sets available at various geographic scales and for various years with harmonized attributes, projection and fixed topology. This includes states, municipalities, census tracts, biomes, indigenous lands, health facilities, schools, favelas and more. All original data sets come from IBGE and other official Brazilian sources and are returned in EPSG:4674 (SIRGAS 2000). This QGIS plugin is built on top of the geobr Python library, which integrates seamlessly with DuckDB and geopandas, and can be used from the Processing Toolbox, chained in Model Builder, run in batch, or called from qgis_process. The geobr library is bundled with the plugin, so there is nothing to pip-install. DuckDB, the engine geobr runs on, is installed for you by the qpip plugin, which QGIS offers to install alongside this one; if you skip qpip, install it into the Python QGIS uses: python -m pip install --user "duckdb>=1.5.3". Everything else geobr needs ships with the official QGIS builds for Windows and macOS; a Linux distribution build of QGIS may lack geopandas or pyarrow, and the plugin says so at startup.
