Bahia

The population of Bahia is not evenly distributed across the state. The greatest concentrations of people live in the cities and towns of the eastern coastal area, particularly within the Recôncavo, which is the fertile region surrounding Todos os Santos Bay.

In contrast, the arid interior of the state is sparsely populated and contains relatively few urban centers.1
