Curitiba

QuintoAndar results as of 6 October 2026, first page, only homes with exactly two bedrooms and exactly in the named district, rent without the building maintenance fee (condomínio) and IPTU tax. Bigorrilho: 7 listings, 2,819-10,570 reais, median 3,260, with charges on top the median is 4,055. Portão: 5 listings, 3,000-5,800, median 3,300, with charges 4,119. Água Verde: 6 listings, 1,990-5,000, median 3,850, with charges 4,803 (one listing says 440 m², which looks like an error). Centro: 9 listings, 2 of them houses, 1,700-7,500, median 4,425; a 34 m² flat at 7,000 looks like an outlier, so Centro is left out of the range. Batel has no two-bedroom listings at all on the first page. QuintoAndar has 331 listings with two or more bedrooms in all of Curitiba; the samples are small. ZAP, VivaReal and OLX did not open for us (403). These are asking prices, not a market median; the index benchmark is in the next fact.

FipeZAP index for August 2026, 4,369 apartment rental listings. The Curitiba average is 49.11 reais per m² a month, 14th among 22 capitals (São Paulo 65.36, Florianópolis 61.19); the average across the 36 cities of the index is 54.47.

Over 12 months rent rose 9.48% against 9.16% on average for the index, since the start of 2026 by 5.58%. A 70 m² two-bedroom at the average price is about 3,440 reais a month, which is our arithmetic, not an index figure. Rental yield is 4.90% a year.

FipeZAP historical series, September 2026, from apartment sale listings. Curitiba: 11,766 reais per m² on average, studios and one-bedroom 13,438, two bedrooms 11,316, three 11,320, four 10,273; growth over 12 months 1.86%. A 100 m² three-bedroom apartment at the average price is about 1.13 million reais, our arithmetic. QuintoAndar results as of 6 October 2026, sales in Água Verde with three or more bedrooms, 135 listings in total: houses at 750,000 (155 m²), 1,600,000 (199 m²), 1,680,000 (203 m², four bedrooms), a house in a gated condominium at 1,449,000 (157 m²). Three-bedroom apartments on the same page range from 650,000 (79 m²) to 2,700,000 (230 m²), most 93-133 m² at 680-996 thousand. These are asking prices, not deals.

DIEESE and Conab, basic basket survey for August 2026. In Curitiba it costs 798.87 reais, seventh by price among 27 capitals; São Paulo 900.59, Florianópolis 850.90. Over the month the basket fell 1.12%, over 12 months it rose 6.13%, since the start of the year 8.27%. Under the DIEESE methodology the basket is the monthly minimum of 13 foods for one adult, and a family of two adults and two children counts as three adults: 798.87 x 3 = 2,396.61 reais. This is a minimum for basic foods, not a real supermarket bill.

Brazil has no official poverty line based on a basket for a family without rent, so the atlas's common definition could not be applied here. The closest analog is the DIEESE "necessary minimum wage": the amount that would cover food, housing, health, education, clothing, hygiene, transport, leisure and pension contributions for a family of two adults and two children. August 2026: 7,565.86 reais, 4.67 times the minimum wage of 1,621 reais. The figure is national, built from the month's most expensive basket (in August São Paulo's; the Curitiba basket is 11% cheaper) and includes housing, so it is not comparable with the no-rent poverty lines of other cities and cannot be used for "X% more expensive" calculations. Rent for a two-bedroom flat is not separately included in the DIEESE budget; by listings it is 3,260-3,850 reais plus the building fee. For reference: average household income in Curitiba, estimated by Fipe from IBGE data, is 8,351 reais a month (2023).

Agepar Resolution 49 of 5 August 2026, Compagas table for homes with their own meter, in force from 1 August 2026, rates before taxes. Fixed charge 18.30 reais a month. The variable part is charged in cascade by daily volume, reais per m³: up to 0.0333 m³ a day 2.2946; 0.0334-0.1 9.0452; 0.1001-0.4 6.1521; 0.4001-0.6 5.7905; 0.6001-1.3333 6.9959; above that 6.5137. For a 30-day month that is roughly up to 1 m³, 1-3, 3-12, 12-18, 18-40 and above 40 m³. Example: 30 m³ a month is about 212.75 reais, 100 m³ in winter about 673.53, before taxes; this is our arithmetic from the tariff, not anyone's real bill. The data field holds the second-tier rate (the first above the minimum), per the atlas rule. We did not find out how many homes are connected to the network. A 13 kg bottle in the ANP weekly survey of 27 September - 3 October 2026 averaged 112.97 reais in Curitiba (from 99.90 to 119.99, 41 outlets).

A calculator site that uses the ANEEL dataset shows for the residential tariff of COPEL Distribuição (class B1, all of Paraná except Londrina and Maringá) 0.768 reais per kWh before taxes, in force from 24 June 2026: 0.457 for network use and 0.311 for energy. There are no volume tiers. According to the same page, the ICMS tax in Paraná is 19% at any consumption. Example for 300 kWh a month: 230.41 reais before taxes; with ICMS and estimated PIS/COFINS of about 9% the site gets 310.05 reais. This is arithmetic from the tariff, not anyone's real bill; the site warns of a 5% margin. For October 2026 the green flag applies, with no surcharge. According to the trade outlet Cenário Energia, on 24 June 2026 ANEEL approved the periodic review of Copel tariffs: plus 20.51% on average, plus 20% for homes. We did not open the ANEEL resolution itself.

Sanepar tariff page as of 6 October 2026, residential tariff (Tarifa Residencial Normal), Curitiba. Water: up to 5 m³ 55.09 reais (in the table this is the amount for the first 5 m³, although the column is labeled "R$/m³"), 6-10 m³ 1.70 per m³, 11-15 9.49, 16-20 9.54, 21-30 9.62, above 30 16.28. Sewage in Curitiba: 46.82 for the first 5 m³, then 1.45 / 8.07 / 8.11 / 8.18 / 13.84 per m³. Water plus sewage: 101.91, then 3.15 / 17.56 / 17.65 / 17.80 / 30.12. Example for a family of four using 15 m³: 101.91 + 5 x 3.15 + 5 x 17.56 = 205.46 reais, of which water is 111.04. From 1 October 2026 Sanepar applies a 25% discount on the minimum tariff (the first 5 m³) of water and sewage; if it takes a quarter off 101.91, the bill comes to about 180 reais. This is arithmetic from the table, not anyone's real bill. The page does not state when the table took effect; the annual 2.4993% increase approved by Agepar applies from 17 May 2026.

INEP 2025 school census in IBGE Cidades. Schools with ensino fundamental (grades 1-9): 501; with the lower grades: 356, of which 188 municipal, 164 private and 4 state; the upper grades 6-9 are taught mainly by state schools (140 of 278). Pupils in grades 1-9: 190,934, in private schools 57,931, i.e. 30.3%, our sum across grades. Nurseries (creche, up to age 3): 640 facilities, 225 municipal and 415 private; 37,212 children, 16,385 of them in municipal ones. Pré-escola (ages 4-5): 38,093 children, 25,012 in municipal ones. We did not open the enrollment rules for municipal kindergartens.

Melhor Escola platform as of 6 October 2026: the average monthly fee of private schools in Curitiba is 1,764.80 reais, the cheapest 432.00 and the most expensive 3,097.60. The platform sells places at discounts of up to 70-80% at participating schools, so this is not a market survey, and expensive and international schools may not be in the sample. We found no official statistics on private school prices.

Brazil Ministry of Health register of hospitals and beds (CNES data), records opened on 6 October 2026. Hospital de Clínicas in Centro is a public hospital: 609 beds, all SUS, 10 neonatal and 8 pediatric intensive care beds. Hospital e Maternidade Victor Ferreira do Amaral in Água Verde: 63 beds, all SUS, no intensive care, listed in the register as non-profit. HNSG Maternidade Mater Dei in Centro is a non-profit maternity hospital: 75 beds, all SUS, 10 neonatal intensive care. Maternidade Curitiba in Água Verde is a private maternity hospital: 47 beds, none SUS, 6 neonatal intensive care. Hospital Infantil Pequeno Príncipe in Água Verde is a non-profit children's hospital: 384 beds, 245 SUS, 42 pediatric and 12 neonatal intensive care. Caveat: in the dataset one hospital can have several undated records with different numbers, so bed counts are a guide. The register does not show how many births each hospital handles; we did not look at private clinic prices or insurance.

Data of the Paraná Public Security Secretariat (SESP) as reported by Tribuna do Paraná on 3 November 2025, January-September 2025 versus the same period of 2024: intentional homicides 118 versus 125 (down 5.6%), robberies 4,537 versus 5,389 (down 16%), thefts 34,540 versus 35,301, car thefts 1,449 versus 2,475, femicides 7 versus 8. With 1.83 million residents (IBGE 2025 estimate), 118 homicides in nine months is about 6.4 per 100,000; this is our calculation and not an annual rate. We did not find full-year 2025 data: the SESP statistics section did not open for us (403). According to SESP data reported by Bem Paraná for January-May 2025, the most homicides and violent deaths were in the districts of Cidade Industrial (CIC), Sítio Cercado, Tatuquara, Cajuru, Alto Boqueirão, Centro, Pinheirinho, Umbará, Parolin and Prado Velho. We did not check natural hazards.

IBGE population estimates: 2024 - 1,829,225, 2025 - 1,830,795, 2026 - 1,832,183 residents, plus 1,388 people over the last year, about 0.08%, our calculation from two estimates. The 2022 census, per IBGE data in the FipeZAP report: 1,773.7 thousand residents and 685.9 thousand households on 434.9 km², with 230.7 thousand apartments. The census and the estimates use different methods, so the difference cannot be read as exact growth.

According to Portuguese Wikipedia, Afonso Pena International Airport (CWB) is in the neighboring municipality of São José dos Pinhais, 18 km from central Curitiba, near the BR-277 and BR-376 highways; since a 2021 auction it has been run for 30 years by CCR Aeroportos, and the terminal is designed for 14.9 million passengers a year. The city bus system (Rede Integrada de Transporte), per the same encyclopedia, has 81 km of dedicated corridors with bi-articulated buses and 22 interchange terminals where transfers are free; about 2 million rides a day; in 2025 it was replaced by the reorganized Sistema Integrado de Mobilidade. The URBS operator's website with the fare did not open for us (403), so there is no fare here. We did not check the list of direct flights from the airport.
