Where it is
Haiti is grouped in Caribbean, within Roam’s North America region. Its land-border list includes 1 country in this atlas: Dominican Republic. The source classifies it as not landlocked.
Haiti has a recorded area of 27,750 square kilometres. Among the 13 countries assigned to Caribbean in this dataset, it ranks 3 by area, from largest to smallest. Dominican Republic is immediately above it in that ordering, at 48,671 km². Bahamas is immediately below it, at 13,943 km². This comparison uses the source’s area figures and subregions, not a ranking of all territories.
The marker shows the atlas location. Small countries may be too small for an outline at this scale. Map boundaries are illustrative.
People, languages and currency
The World Bank records 11,906,095 people for Haiti in 2025. This is the latest non-empty annual observation in Roam’s committed 2020–2025 download, rather than a live population counter. Dividing that population by the source area gives approximately 429 people per square kilometre. This calculated average does not describe how evenly people are distributed.
The language entries in the source are French and Haitian Creole. They describe the dataset’s listed languages, not every language spoken by residents. The currencies listed for this date are Haitian Gourde (HTG) and US Dollar (USD). Currency assignments are selected from Unicode CLDR’s date ranges for 23 October 2026; the three-letter codes identify currencies, not countries.
