# Is 🇭🇹 Haiti (Port-au-Prince) a good place to live?

Quality score **28/100** against essentials of **$1,999/month**.

## The five metrics

Internet 16 39.8 Mbps median broadband, 47.9% online

Safety 0 41.2 homicides/100k (2023)

Healthcare 44 UHC service coverage 44/100 (2023)

Air quality 53 PM2.5 26 µg/m³ (2023)

## Beside the score, not inside it

Neither of these is part of the composite above, deliberately. Folding governance into a quality-of-life number would bury a political judgement where you could not see it or argue with it, and connection *price* is a different question from connection *speed* — somewhere fast and expensive and somewhere slow and cheap are different trade-offs, not one average.

- **Rule of law**: very weak
- World Bank WGI estimate -1.6 · corruption control -1.54 · stability -1.2 (2024). Scale −2.5 to +2.5, higher is better.
- **What connectivity costs**: $55 /mo broadband
- Mobile 10GB $3.06/month. ITU price basket. The speed above is scored; this price is not.
