It also depends on the age of people being sampled as in all Brazilian regions the older people will be more European on average than the younglings.

I believe São Paulo state was very European between 1920-1950, but not so much nowadays, at least not as much as places like Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. These two are by far the more European regions of Latin America.The most common type in São Paulo among young people is likely a more equilibrated pardo with ~60% European ancestry, even though people with higher levels of European ancestry are still very numerous. The Levantine immigration had only a limited impact on the average population of São Paulo imo, the total numbers of Levantines and part-Levantines doesn't exceed 10% of the population.
Very good analyses are you really arrentino?
