Excerpt
This row quotes no sentence because the source publishes none: the value is the line count of the file this site hosts, above, and it is re-counted at every build.
Arithmetic
Count of the data lines of the hosted file dados/caop-2025-municipios-continente.csv: 278 lines, one per municipality, each with its code in the "dtmn" column. The file is the extract of the cont_municipios layer of the CAOP_Continente_2025-gpkg.zip GeoPackage, whose hash the row publishes. The count is re-made at build time over the hosted file.

Corrections and updates to this row
The old address is the directory the CAOP files sit in and returns HTTP 403 to every request, with listing disabled: it is not, and never was, a page that can be opened. The files beneath it answer HTTP 200. The row now cites the file the count was made over. The value does not change.
