Pojuca
8.3
High score (8-10) · Your profile
Pojuca is a small northeast Bahia city of 35,000 in the Petrobras oil zone north of Salvador — it sits near the Pojuca oil fields that feed into the Camaçari petrochemical complex. The Petrobras presence has created a more economically mobile local population than typical northeast interior towns. The proximity to the Salvador metropolitan region and the oil industry money create a better social infrastructure than its size suggests.
Mid score (6-8)
Pojuca has Petrobras money and some economic mobility but the social culture is still conservative northeast interior Bahia. Limited nightlife and social world runs through the oil industry and family networks.
Lower score (below 6)
Pojuca's social world is organized around the Petrobras oil industry workforce and the conservative northeast interior community. Not particularly welcoming to outsiders without industrial connections.
