SEADE

Seade is a term that can refer to more than one entity, most notably in Brazil and in personal onomastics. In the Brazilian context, SEADE typically denotes the Fundação Sistema Estadual de Análise de Dados, a public statistical foundation serving the state of São Paulo. The foundation functions as an official provider of demographic, social, and economic data, producing censuses, surveys, and statistical reports. It collects and curates data on population, employment, education, health, housing, and regional development, and distributes this information to government agencies, researchers, and the public. SEADE's outputs support policymaking, planning, and academic research by offering data releases, dashboards, and interpretable indicators at state and regional levels. The organization operates under the governance of the São Paulo state's government and collaborates with other statistical bodies and municipalities.

Seade is also a surname of Portuguese origin. It is found among individuals in Portugal and Brazil and may appear in historical and contemporary records. As a surname, it is relatively uncommon and does not imply a single famous bearer universally.

In other contexts, Seade may appear as an acronym or proper-name usage in local projects or institutions; however, outside the Brazilian statistical foundation and the surname usage, there is no single widely recognized definition. The term's meaning is therefore highly contextual, depending on geographic and cultural usage.
