Stampfer in his article estimates the population at about 40,000; the same figure is given by Henry Abramson in his article on "Ukraine" (2010), in the YIVO Encyclopedia of Jews in Eastern Europe. Paul M. Johnson in his A History of the Jews (p. 251) and Edward Fram in his Ideals Face Reality: Jewish Law and Life in Poland, 1550–1655 (p. 20) give a higher estimate of over 51,000.
"Chapter 4, p. 80". History of the Rus.: "А по симъ правиламъ и обширный торговый городъ Броды, наполненный почти одними Жидами, оставленъ въ прежней свободѣ и цѣлости, яко признанный отъ Рускихъ жителей полезнымъ для ихъ оборотовъ и заработковъ, а только взята отъ Жидовъ умѣренная контрибуція сукнами, полотнами и кожами для пошитья реестровому войску мундировъ и обуви, да для продовольствія войскъ нѣкоторая провизія."
