Key demographic indicators for Haiti as of 2024. These numbers give a quick overview of the country's population size, density, birth rates, life expectancy, and migration patterns.

Population Trend

How the total population has changed over the decades. A rising line means the country has been growing, a flat or falling line indicates stagnation or decline.

Population Projection to 2100

Estimated future population based on current trends in birth rates, death rates, and migration. The dashed line shows this is a projection, not actual data.

Birth Rate vs Death Rate

Birth rate (green) vs. death rate (red) per 1,000 people per year. When the birth rate is higher than the death rate, the population grows naturally.

Life Expectancy (Male vs Female)

Average number of years a newborn can expect to live. Blue shows men, red shows women. Women typically live longer in most countries.

Fertility Rate Trend

Total Fertility Rate — the average number of children per woman. A rate of about 2.1 is needed to maintain the population without immigration.

Population Pyramid

Shows the age distribution of the population. Blue bars (left) represent men, red bars (right) represent women. A wide base means a young population, a wide top means an aging population.

About Country — Haiti

Haiti is a country in North America (Caribbean) with a total population of 11,772,557 as of 2024. It covers an area of 27,750 km², resulting in a population density of 422.3 people per km².

The average life expectancy is 64.9 years (61.7 for men, 68.3 for women). The fertility rate stands at 2.66 children per woman, and the median age of the population is 29.7 years.

The country's population growth rate is 1.15% per year. Net migration is -31,747 people, indicating that more people are leaving the country than arriving. The infant mortality rate is 40.3 per 1,000 live births.

Demographic Profile

Haiti is located in Caribbean, a part of North America, and covers an area of 27,750 km². With a population of 11,772,557, the country has a population density of 422.3 inhabitants per square kilometer, which is above the global average of approximately 60 people per km².

The demographic structure of Haiti reveals a population in demographic transition. The median age of 29.7 years means that half of the population is younger and half is older than this age. The population is in a transitional phase, with declining birth rates and improving life expectancy gradually shifting the age structure toward an older profile.

Health and Longevity

Life expectancy in Haiti stands at 64.9 years overall — 61.7 years for men and 68.3 years for women. This is below the global average, reflecting challenges in healthcare access, nutrition, or ongoing conflicts. The infant mortality rate is 40.3 per 1,000 live births, which indicates significant challenges in maternal and child healthcare.

Fertility and Population Growth

The total fertility rate (TFR) of 2.66 children per woman is above the replacement level of 2.1, contributing to population growth. The population is growing at a rate of 1.15% per year. This moderate growth rate reflects a balance between natural increase and migration patterns.

Migration

Net migration in Haiti is -31,747 people, meaning more people are leaving the country than arriving. Emigration may reflect economic challenges or conflict, and can lead to brain drain as skilled workers seek opportunities elsewhere.

Outlook

Based on current demographic trends, Haiti's population dynamics reflect broader patterns seen across Caribbean. The ongoing demographic transition will require careful policy planning to harness the potential of a changing population structure.
