Airport
Port-au-Prince international airport access
The refreshed local city data-type matrix lists Port-au-Prince and adjacent Ouest municipalities as current mobility/walkability gaps; model the metro through the capital airport rather than treating each district as standalone.
Urban transit
Tap-tap, minibus, and taxi-led mobility
busminibuswalking
The metro is road-led and uneven, but tap-taps, minibuses, taxis, and short walkable neighborhood errands provide a conservative family mobility baseline.
Rideshare
Taxi-first, limited app coverage
Families should expect taxis or arranged rides to cover airport transfers and trips where informal transit is not practical.

Healthcare
System strength, outcome signals, facility coverage, and self-pay visibility in Haiti.
Method: country metrics come from public system indicators, facility coverage reflects mapped providers we can inventory, direct pricing only reflects observed self-pay pages, and relative care cost can fall back to broad cost-of-living healthcare indices. Sparse pricing does not imply sparse healthcare availability.

About Port-au-Prince
Port-au-Prince is the capital of Haiti and home to about 1.23 million people in the city proper, with the broader metropolitan area pushing past two and a half million on a natural harbor of the Gulf of Gonave. It is the country's overwhelming political, port, and economic center, hosting most of its formal-sector employment, embassies, and humanitarian infrastructure. The climate is tropical with a wet season from April through October and serious hurricane exposure. Relocators should weigh that Haiti's compounding security collapse since 2021, with armed groups controlling significant urban territory and the airport repeatedly closed, has made the city largely accessible only through humanitarian or diplomatic channels. French and Haitian Creole are both essential.
