Boquira
8.0
High score (8-10) · Your profile
Boquira is a central Bahia town known for its zinc and lead mining history — it was one of the most significant mineral extraction sites in Brazil's northeast until operations wound down. The mining legacy left infrastructure and a slightly more industrial social culture than purely agricultural neighbors. The town has more economic complexity than its size suggests.
Mid score (6-8)
Boquira's mining economy has significantly contracted and the town is rebuilding around agriculture and commerce. The industrial legacy means slightly better infrastructure than comparable towns but the social scene is thin.
Lower score (below 6)
Boquira's main economic driver (zinc/lead mining) has largely shut down and the town is economically stagnant. Limited social infrastructure for outsiders.
