Vehicle_Ownership_by_Race_in_Brazil

This dataset presents secondary data from the National Family Budget Survey 2017 - 2018 (POF 2017 - 2018) of the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). POF 2017- 2018 collected data on people's consumption habits in 57,920 dwellings sampled, equivalent to a total of 68,862,296 dwellings in Brazil. The sample represents Brazil's urban areas, large regions (North, Northeast, Midwest, Southeast, and South), states, metropolitan regions, and states' capitals. Also, it is representative of Brazil and large regions in rural areas. Datasets regarding residents, inventory, and dwelling were joined to analyze vehicle ownership by residents' race. The registered vehicles were automobiles, motorcycles, and bicycles. Each row in the dataset contains a sampled dwelling, sample weight, total residents, number of black, brown, white, indigenous, yellow, and missing race residents, variable "family_race" categorized as "only black and brown", "only white" and "other combinations", and weighted and straightforward quantity of car, motorcycle, and bicycle. Researchers can use the data to analyze racial inequalities regarding vehicle ownership, urban access, and urban mobility by location in Brazil. It also allows comparing inventoried fleet versus administrative data fleet of automobiles and motorcycles in Brazil. Lastly, in an unprecedented way, it will enable estimating the bicycle fleet, data with no administrative data in the country.
