Baseline score
Not scored

Haiti is measured on 2 of the 4 factors. No published figure exists for cost of living or education, so it is not ranked: an average over some of the factors is a different quantity from an average over all of them, and comparing the two would reward the gap. The figures below are published as they stand.
