Description
Summary:In this article, we propose a reflection on areas listed as cultural heritage by Iphan, grounded on an analysis of their resident population. Based on data from the 2010 Demographic Census and on the technical document “Configuration of the socioeconomic profile of 45 areas listed by Iphan" (Leite, 2018), we present a profile of the population that lives in the central areas of historic cities. In the concluding section, we analyze this population’s income indexes and discuss questions arising from the outcomes of this profile.
