Florianópolis

QuintoAndar results as of 29 September 2026 (the results page updates, and on reload the figures shift slightly), first page, only apartments and houses with exactly two bedrooms and exactly in the named district, rent price without the building maintenance fee (condomínio), IPTU tax and insurance. Centro: 17 listings, 2,800–6,650 reais, median 4,500, area 55–130 m²; with charges on top the median is 5,639. Lagoa da Conceição: 10 listings, 3,185–4,650, median 4,525, but five of them are 4,650 reais each and on one street, mostly identical houses in one gated complex.

These are asking prices from a single results page, not a market median; for Santo Antônio de Lisboa we could not get results.

FipeZAP index for August 2026, 5,997 rental listings for apartments. The average price in Florianópolis is 61.19 reais per m² a month; only São Paulo (65.36), Recife (64.19), Belém (62.15) and Rio (61.40) are higher, the average across 36 cities is 54.47. By district: Agronômica 65.8, Centro 64.1, Trindade 63.1, Saco dos Limões 60.5, Córrego Grande 58.6, Itacorubi 57.9, Estreito 53.9, Coqueiros 53.6, Ingleses do Rio Vermelho 47.2, Capoeiras 44.6. Lagoa, Campeche and Jurerê did not make the list of the most represented districts. Over 12 months rent in Florianópolis rose by 2.82% against 9.16% on average across the country, and since the start of 2026 by 1.62%. For orientation: a 70 m² apartment at the average price is about 4,280 reais a month, this is our arithmetic, not an index figure.

FipeZAP historical series, August 2026, three-month moving average of sale listings. Florianópolis: 13,531 reais per m² on average, one-room 15,351, with two bedrooms 12,993, with three 12,729, with four 13,269. Growth over 12 months is 8.2%. Among the 56 cities of the index this is fourth place after Vitória (15,650), Itapema (15,403) and Balneário Camboriú (15,343); São Paulo is 12,143, Rio 11,216. At this price a two-room apartment of 70 m² costs about 910 thousand reais, our arithmetic. The rental yield by the same index is 5.39% a year.

QuintoAndar results as of 29 September 2026, sale of homes with three or more bedrooms in Campeche: 341 listings in total, 24 on the first page (10 houses and 14 apartments); the page updates, and on reload the set changes. Houses: four bedrooms 1,500,000 (220 m²), 1,900,000 (210 m²), 1,950,000 (242 m²), 1,550,000 (the listing says 1,140 m², which looks like an error); a three-bedroom house in a gated condominium of 233 m² is 3,400,000; also 2,450,000, 3,200,000, 3,250,000 and 3,300,000; one four-bedroom house of 350 m² is 6,380,000, it is not included in the range. Three-bedroom apartments on the same page run from 2,190,000 (94 m²) to 14,255,245 (403 m²). These are asking prices, not deals.

DIEESE and Conab, basic basket study for August 2026. In Florianópolis it costs 850.90 reais, the fourth most expensive of 27 capitals after São Paulo (900.59), Cuiabá (851.57) and Rio (851.19). Over 12 months the basket rose by 3.38%, since the start of the year by 6.19%. Under the DIEESE methodology the basket is a monthly minimum of 13 products per adult, and a family of two adults and two children is counted as three adults: 850.90 × 3 = 2,552.70 reais. This is a minimum for basic foods, not a real supermarket receipt.

Brazil has no official poverty line based on a basket for a family without rent, so the definition common to the atlas could not be applied here. The closest official analogue is DIEESE's “necessary minimum wage”: the amount that would be enough for a family of two adults and two children for food, housing, health, education, clothing, hygiene, transport, leisure and pension contributions. August 2026 – 7,565.86 reais, 4.67 times the minimum wage of 1,621 reais; in June it was 8,110.92. The figure is for the country as a whole, built from the most expensive grocery basket of the month (São Paulo in August; the Florianópolis basket is 5.5% cheaper) and includes housing, so it is not directly comparable with a poverty line without rent for other cities: it cannot be used as is to calculate “X% more expensive”. For orientation: Fipe, based on IBGE data, estimates the average household income in Florianópolis at 10,160 reais a month (2023). The rent of a two-room apartment in Florianópolis is not included in the DIEESE budget separately; the guide by listings is about 4,500 reais in Centro and up to 6,600 in Campeche plus the building fee.

Report of the ombudsman of ARESC, the state's public utilities regulator, of 3 September 2026: because of an emergency burst of a water main, water supply was disrupted in the districts of Capoeiras, Coloninha, Jardim Atlântico, Coqueiros, Abraão, Itaguaçu, Bom Abrigo, São João do Rio Vermelho, Balneário, Estreito, Monte Cristo, Canto, Centro, Agronômica, Saco dos Limões, Caieira do Saco dos Limões, Prainha, José Mendes, Costeira do Pirajubaé, Pantanal, Carvoeira, Trindade, Córrego Grande, Itacorubi, Santa Mônica, Saco Grande, Monte Verde and João Paulo. Restoration went gradually from 21:00 on 2 September, normalization was promised by the end of 3 September. This is a single case, not outage statistics. The tariffs of CASAN and of the energy company CELESC are in separate facts.

According to the calculation file of the regulator ARESC (a file from the calculators page, the date in the path is 09.2025) a residential CASAN bill consists of a fixed part, TFDI, of 29.49 reais a month per apartment or house and a variable part by band, reais per m³: 0–10 m³ 1.96, 11–25 9.11, 26–50 12.18, over 50 15.32. Sewage is charged at 100% of the water amount, that is, the total bill is twice as much; if a house has only water supply without sewage, half is paid. An example for a family of four at 15 m³ a month at these rates: water 29.49 + 10 x 1.96 + 5 x 9.11 = 94.64 reais, water together with sewage 189.28. This is arithmetic from the published table, not anyone's real bill. The same file has a row “previous scheme” with a minimum bill for 10 m³ (46.28 reais for water, bands 4.52 / 8.28 / 11.62 / 13.92) and a variant “if the court decision is applied”, which is calculated under the previous scheme; the file does not explain which court is meant and what it decided, so the total under the new scheme may turn out to be contested. For buildings with one shared meter (condominiums) the fixed part is multiplied by the number of apartments. We found no more recent CASAN tariff decision: the company's site did not open for us, and a search on the ARESC site found CASAN tariff decisions only up to 2023. The file is about a year old; on 30 September 2026 the ARESC calculators page still offers exactly this file as current, but the tariff may have been recalculated since. The file also has a block “TFDI sem RTP” (fixed part 28.85, bands 1.93 / 8.64 / 12.12 / 15.19, caption “condomínio em Florianópolis, caso real”), it is not connected with the total of the “new structure” calculator, so it was not taken into the answer.

A calculator site that uses the ANEEL dataset shows for the CELESC residential tariff (class B1, Santa Catarina excluding the Joinville region) 0.760 reais per kWh before taxes, in force from 22 August 2026: 0.414 for use of the grid and 0.346 for the energy. The tariff is the same for any volume, there are no bands. Example for 300 kWh a month (a family with an air conditioner or heater): 227.93 reais before taxes. The ICMS tax in Santa Catarina according to the site is 12% for consumption up to 150 kWh and 17% above; with ICMS at 17% and estimated PIS/COFINS of about 9% the site gets about 299.32 reais. This is arithmetic from the tariff, not anyone's real bill, the site notes that the total may differ by 5%. On top comes the monthly “flag”: yellow in September 2026 gives 1.885 reais for every 100 kWh before taxes; green has been announced for October, that is, no surcharge. We did not open the ANEEL resolution itself. The date of 22 August 2026 and an increase for homes and small consumers (group B) of 9.26% are confirmed by the press (ND Mais, 18 August 2026), while the level of 0.760 reais per kWh itself is known only from the calculator site, which shows the same increase of +9.2% to the previous tariff.

Piped gas from SCGás: a single residential tariff of 7.1412 reais per m³ without bands, in force from 1 July 2026, includes ICMS 17% and PIS/COFINS 9.25%; in apartment buildings the bill comes for the whole building and is divided by apartment meters. At 30 m³ in summer this is 214.24 reais, at 100 m³ in winter 714.12; this is arithmetic from the tariff, not anyone's real bill. The caveat matters more than the figure: according to an SCGás report of 16 July 2026, work on the first stage of the network in the center of Florianópolis (the Ilha Centro system, about 3.3 km of underground network between Rua Esteves Júnior and Parque da Luz, completion of the stage was planned for August) began on 16 July; after the work is finished, homes in the coverage area will be able to connect. Which districts of the city are already connected we did not establish: the SCGás list of 71 municipalities did not open. So the mass connection of homes to the network is not confirmed by this source, and the question of “what to cook on” is for most homes answered by the cylinder. According to the weekly ANP survey of 20–26 September 2026 a 13 kg gas cylinder in Florianópolis cost on average 127.11 reais (from 119.90 to 139.00), but only 6 points were surveyed in total, and the figure fluctuates from week to week. For comparison, in Rio the same survey gives an average of 99.63.

INEP 2025 school census in IBGE Cidades. Schools with ensino fundamental (grades 1–9): 150; with younger grades: 145, of which 77 private, 39 municipal, 28 state schools and 1 federal. Pupils in grades 1–9: 60,623, in private schools 22,719, that is 37.5%, our addition by grade. Nurseries (creche): 188 institutions, 86 municipal and 100 private, 11,694 children, of which 7,760 in municipal ones. Pré-escola (ages 4–5): 12,142 children, 7,283 in municipal ones. Prices of private schools are not in the official statistics, and the city hall site with the enrollment rules for municipal kindergartens did not open for us.

A Procon Santa Catarina survey of monthly fees at schools in Greater Florianópolis for the 2023 school year names three schools in Florianópolis. Colégio Energia: kindergarten (N2–N3) 2,894 reais full day and 1,824 half day, primary grades (1–5) 2,915 full day and 1,845 half day, grades 6–7 full day 3,033, secondary education (ensino médio) 2,156–2,403. Colégio Catarinense (Jesuit): kindergarten 1,965 half day, grades 1–5 and 7–9 2,027 each, ensino médio 2,144–2,372. Colégio Bom Jesus: kindergarten 1,544 half day, primary 1,612–1,642, grades 6–9 1,642–1,716, ensino médio 1,866–2,042. The range 1,544–3,033 is the minimum and maximum among these three schools; the regimes differ (half day and full day), so one should compare school with school and regime with regime. These are 2023 prices: over three years they have risen; according to the Aldeia guide of 17 April 2026 (a market estimate without a list of schools, not a price list) a private school in Florianópolis costs 1,500–3,500 in primary school, 2,000–4,000 in grades 6–9, 2,500–5,000 in ensino médio and 3,500–6,500 and above in bilingual schools. The enrollment fee (matrícula) per the same guide is usually equal to one monthly fee, plus study materials 600–2,500 reais a year and a uniform 300–800; these sums are not in the Procon survey. Prices of the Salesiano, Sesi and other schools were not found on open pages: the schools' sites did not open for us.

Register of hospitals and beds of the Brazilian Ministry of Health (CNES data), export of 29 September 2026. Maternidade Carmela Dutra is a public maternity hospital in Centro, 102 beds, all under SUS. Hospital Universitário in Trindade is a public general hospital (the register does not say whether it delivers babies), 228 beds, of which 9 are neonatal intensive care and 8 under SUS. Hospital Infantil Joana de Gusmão in Agronômica is a public children's hospital, 159 beds, 14 pediatric intensive care beds and 10 neonatal. Ilha Hospital e Maternidade in Pantanal is a private hospital with a maternity unit, 33 beds, 5 neonatal intensive care, none under SUS. Hospital e Maternidade Dr. Carlos Corrêa in Centro is a charitable one, 64 beds, of which 12 under SUS. Caveat: in the dataset a single hospital sometimes has several undated records with different numbers, so the bed counts are a rough guide. How many births each hospital handles, the register does not show.

Bulletin of the Santa Catarina Public Security Secretariat for December 2025, data as of 14 January 2026. Homicides (homicídio) in Florianópolis: 2022 – 37, 2023 – 27, 2024 – 31, 2025 – 25. Statewide in 2025 there were 429 homicides, separately 52 femicides and 18 killings during robbery; in the breakdown by municipality there are only the homicides themselves. For comparison within the state: Joinville 32, Chapecó 17, Itajaí 12. The rate per 100 thousand we calculated ourselves from the IBGE estimate for 2025 (587,486 residents): about 4.3. We did not check the comparison with other state capitals in the official statistics, so we do not confirm the title of “safest capital” here. We found no data on natural risks (floods, storms).

IBGE population estimate: 2024 – 576,361, 2025 – 587,486, 2026 – 598,370 residents, that is plus 10,884 people or 1.85% over the last year, our calculation from two estimates. The 2022 census, according to IBGE in the FipeZAP report, is 537.2 thousand residents and 219.7 thousand households on 674.8 km². Between the census and the estimates the methods differ, so the difference between 2022 and 2026 cannot be read as an exact increase.

Adding up the twelve months gives 1,544 mm, with 144 days of precipitation; this is our addition, there is no annual row in the source. There is no dry season: even in the driest June there are 9 days with rain.

The measurement service Minha Conexão (page modified 17 September 2026) lists the cheapest fiber tariffs in Florianópolis: Ilha Connect 500 Mbps, 79.90 reais a month; Claro Fibra 350 Mbps, 89.90; Ilha Connect 750 Mbps, 89.90; Claro Fibra 600 Mbps, 99.90; Zen Telecom 1 Gbps with TV, 99.90; Vivo Fibra 700 Mbps, 100.00; Sim.digital 800 Mbps, 109.90; Vero Fibra 550 Mbps, 113.99; Zen Plus 1 Gbps with TV, 119.80. All figures are the providers' listings on the service's page; taxes, the contract and autopay conditions are not spelled out. Measurements by the service's users over three months (ranking for July 2026): the average download speed in the city is 202 Mbps, which is 34% below the average for the state of Santa Catarina (303) and 7% below the national average (216). In the measurements Zen Telecom (631 Mbps) and sim.digital (544) came out fast; Claro Net 271, Vivo (Telefônica Brasil) 250, Unifique 218. Caveats: the Vivo, Claro, TIM and Unifique sites block requests from our network, so the prices were not cross-checked with them; what is available depends on the address and district, so check by address.
