Among the areas of the municipality that grew the most in recent years is the region covered by the neighborhoods of Barra da Tijuca, Itanhangá, and Joá – UEP 451. Its population quadrupled in two decades, increasing from 28,528 residents in 1980 to 114,901 in 2000, although it accounts for only 2% of the total population of the municipality, according to the preliminary results of the 2000 Demographic Census released by IBGE.
