How Haiti's population is changing
Haiti records about 715 births and 254 deaths a day. That is a natural increase of roughly 461 people per day, or about 168,380 a year before migration is counted.
Net migration runs at about 32,052 over the reported period, with more people leaving than arriving. That is equivalent to about 19% of its natural change.
If the current rate held indefinitely, Haiti would take roughly 62 years to double in size — a projection of today's rate, not a forecast.
Over the 9 years from 2016 to 2025, the population rose from 10.7 million to 11.9 million — a gain of 1.23 million, or 11.6%.
Where people live in Haiti
With about 422 people per square kilometre, Haiti is very densely populated, roughly 6.8× the world average of 62. That ranks 11th of the 115 countries here. Its closest comparisons on density are Israel and Belgium.
Haiti covers about 27,560 km² of land, which is what turns a population of 11.9 million into that density figure.
About 55.6% of people live in urban areas, making Haiti majority urban, almost exactly the world average of 57.8%. That works out to roughly 6.62 million town and city dwellers and 5.28 million living rurally.
