It would be useful to add the weighting area that each census tract is in to the census tract data, especially since this is a bit buried and hard to find.
You can find it on the Documentação.zip zip file on IBGE's own website, under "Documentação/Áreas de Ponderação/Composição das Áreas de Ponderação.txt", in what is essentially a tsv tabulated format with Weighting Area and Census Tract columns.

My own-use solution was extracting, navigating the folders with broken names on explorer, opening the file on notepad and Save as with UTF-8 encoding in another folder. Then, readr's read_tsv function reads it normally.
