Estas pessoas não são reais. The records are generated; they are not real people, families or addresses.

• v1.0.3 replaces v1.0.0, v1.0.1 and v1.0.2, all published on 5 October 2026. Every parish answers with its own numbers and quality tier; nothing is suppressed; empty categories show 0; household questions are asked of private households; nuts2 is NUTS-2013. The generated people and households are unchanged since v1.0.0. See ERRATA.md.
• Start with pt-synthpop-v1.0.3-quality.csv: every parish carries a quality tier (A 776 · B 705 · C 1,611). Tier C (small parishes or a weaker fit) calls for more care.
• pt-synthpop-v1.0.3.zip is the complete package (national and per-district parquet, quality table, metadata, public query bundle and schemas, trust files). The national persons and households parquet files are also attached on their own.
• Verify: sha256sum -c SHA256SUMS, then inside the package sha256sum -c checksums.sha256 (its own SHA-256 is 0992bcfec9595df4fc2102349a6692e570ebc4322377e85438d795dc5a4ab8d8).
