Reply to comment by Willing_Animator_993 in [OC] Percentage of International Migrants Per Country by andyprendy
You have a good point there. São Paulo represents a small percentage of the whole country because of how populated Brazil is, while Tokyo is represents way more.
The Extended Metropolitan Area of São Paulo, according to Wikipedia, has 33 million people. Brazil has 213 million people. SP is around 15.5% of the country.
The Greater Tokyo Area has 38 million people. Japan has 125.7 million. Over 30% of the country.
So my experiences in Tokyo are a greater representation of the overall country than my experiences in São Paulo, even if the cities are similarly sized.
