São Caetano do Sul ( Brazilian Portuguese: [sɐ̃w kajˈtɐnu du ˈsuw]; "Saint Cajetan of the South"), or simply São Caetano, is a city in São Paulo state in Brazil. It is part of the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo. The population is 165,655 (2022 Census) in an area of 15.33 km. It is the city with the highest per capita income in Brazil (US$31,322.00 in 2010)
It is intensely conurbated with São Paulo, Santo André and São Bernardo do Campo, causing the physical limits between cities to be lost. São Caetano do Sul, together with Ferraz de Vasconcelos, is one of two cities in the state of São Paulo that are not crossed by any state or federal highway.
