Freguesia is a neighbourhood in the Southwest Zone of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.[1] According to the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE), it had 653.492 inhabitants as of 2024, making it the most populous neighbourhood in the city.[2][3]
Its occupational history has always included high-income families. Two years after Rio de Janeiro was founded, Salvador Correia de Sá, the city's first governor, granted the lands of Jacarepaguá to his sons for colonisation.[4] The region acquired a noble status from the outset and retains higher concentration of wealthy residents.[5]
