Essential indicators to analyze Haiti's socio-economic evolution.
Haiti is divided into 10 geographic departments, the West department is the largest and most populated.
Beyond their size differences, each department stands out through its economic potential, agricultural resources, and touristic appeal.
The West and Artibonite departments alone account for 36% of the national territory.
Article 9 of the Constitution establishes an administrative division in three levels: departments, municipalities, and communal sections.
This administrative structure reflects a willingness to decentralize public services in both urban and rural areas, while strengthening local authorities.
The West and North departments are the most densely populated in Haiti, with the highest number of inhabitants per km².
The Haitian population is very young, more than half of the population is under 25 years of age.
The predominance of youth in the demographic structure represents both a potential for development and a major challenge in terms of education, professional training, and job creation for future generations.
The age pyramid reveals a very young demographic structure. There is a high proportion of children and adolescents aged 0 to 14, while very few people are over 80.
Haiti has around 11.77 million inhabitants, making it one of the most populous countries in the Caribbean.
Within roughly six decades, the population has tripled. Demographic projections anticipate continued growth, although at a more moderate pace.
Evolution of the total population of Haiti from 1960 to 2024. The Haitian population has tripled in 64 years, going from 3.8 million inhabitants in 1960 to 11.8 million in 2024.
Net migration represents the difference between the number of people entering the country (immigrants) and the number of people leaving the country (emigrants) each year.
A negative number means that more people are leaving the country than entering it.
Since 1960, over 65 years, the number of people leaving the country has always exceeded the number of arrivals.
The West department alone accounts for 35% of the country's total population
The fertility rate represents the average number of children a woman would bear over her reproductive lifetime.
This rate, above the replacement threshold of 2.1, indicates a fertility level that remains relatively high, although declining progressively compared to previous decades.
Evolution of the fertility rate in Haiti from 1960 to 2024. The fertility rate has fallen by about 58% over 64 years, from 6.2 children per woman in 1960 to about 2.6 in 2024.
Population density measures the average number of inhabitants per square kilometer across the entire national territory.
This average density hides substantial regional disparities. The West department, for instance, has over 800 inhabitants/km², while some rural areas remain thinly populated.
The population density in Haiti has increased significantly over the past six decades, rising from 142 inhabitants per km² in 1961 to 422 inhabitants per km² in 2023.
Haiti has maintained a relatively stable annual population growth since the January 12, 2010 earthquake.
However, this growth is somewhat declining, as a result of both decreasing fertility and substantial outward migration flows.
The demographic growth rate in Haiti has gradually decreased over the past six decades. This decrease may be linked to the reduction in fertility rates and changes in migration dynamics.
The Haitian population is distributed between urban and rural areas, with a growing trend toward urbanization over the decades.
The rural population accounts for approximately 45% of the total in 2024 and plays a crucial role in the national economy, particularly in agricultural production. However, the lack of infrastructure and services in rural areas continues to fuel the exodus to cities.
In recent decades, Haiti has experienced a significant rural exodus. Until 2015, the population was predominantly rural, but since 2016, this has completely changed.
Despite a particularly challenging economic environment in recent years, GDP has maintained moderate growth.
Inflation has risen significantly in recent years, which has considerably reduced the purchasing power of households.
For more than two decades, the unemployment rate has remained particularly high in the country, with a notable impact on young people.
Since 1960, the Gourde has continuously depreciated against the US Dollar. This phenomenon has become particularly alarming in recent years, with direct repercussions on the cost of living and access to basic necessities.
Distribution of money transfers received in Haiti through transfer agencies in 2025, by country of origin (in USD). 80% of the amounts came from the United States.
The services sector largely dominates the Haitian economy, ahead of industry and agriculture, which remains an essential pillar for a large part of the population.
In the absence of local production, Haiti imports nearly all of its petroleum products. Diesel fuel has been the most imported product in recent years.
As for kerosene, mainly used by the most vulnerable households for lighting, its imports have completely collapsed.
Annual volumes of petroleum product imports in thousands of barrels (gasoline, kerosene and diesel).
The trade balance refers to the difference between the value of a country's exports and its imports over a given period of time.
For several years, Haiti has been experiencing a chronic trade deficit, as the country buys more goods from abroad than it sells to the rest of the world.

This distribution makes Haiti a unique case in the region. School fees, combined with expenses for transportation, mandatory uniforms, and textbooks, prevent many families from sending their children to school.
Distribution of schools between private and public sectors. The private sector dominates education in Haiti with 83% of institutions.
According to UNESCO, a person is considered illiterate if they cannot read and comprehend a simple everyday text, or if they are restricted to recognizing numbers, their own name, and memorized expressions.

Life expectancy represents the average number of years a person can expect to live from birth.
The healthcare facility network (public hospitals, health centers, dispensaries, etc.) struggles to meet the health needs of the population.
Life expectancy in Haiti is among the lowest in the region, highlighting the significant health challenges the country faces.
Haiti is facing a severe shortage of qualified health professionals, according to the most recent MSPP surveys.
This ratio is well below World Health Organization (WHO) standards, which recommend a minimum of 45 health professionals per 10,000 inhabitants, or 4.5 per 1,000 inhabitants.
Distribution of health personnel by type of profession. Nurses represent the majority of medical personnel in Haiti.
