Its best position is #1 in Countries with the highest death rates from natural disasters, where it is measured at 20.3 per 100,000 people (Natural disaster death rate) as of 2026-11-02. Haiti holds the #1 spot in 2 rankings and finishes inside the top 10 in 11 rankings.

Where Haiti is number one

These are the rankings Haiti currently tops. The next country in each table is listed too, because a #1 by a whisker and a #1 by a mile are different stories.

Since the first snapshot

Top10Earth keeps every snapshot it publishes. Where a ranking has been captured at least three times, the first recorded position can be compared with today's:

• Countries with the lowest access to electricity: #9 on 2026-10-28 → #21 on 2026-10-28 (3 snapshots).

Where Haiti ranks lowest

A guide that only listed wins would be misleading. Haiti's lowest current positions are 50th of 50 in Countries receiving the most remittances (4,111 current US$ million), 50th of 50 in Countries with the highest death rates from mental and substance use disorders (3.66 per 100,000 people) and 50th of 50 in Countries with the most deaths of children under five (13.58 thousand deaths). Whether a low position is good or bad depends on the metric: being near the bottom of an emissions or mortality ranking is the better place to be.

How to read these numbers

Each ranking measures one metric from one named source at one time, so a #3 in one table and a #3 in another are not directly comparable. Countries also report in different years: the capture date is when Top10Earth fetched the data, while the source's own year is stated on each ranking page under methodology. For a side-by-side with another country on the same measures, open any ranking and use the head-to-head links, or visit Haiti's entity page for the live table and rank-history chart.

Top10Earth never estimates or edits a value. Each number is fetched from its source on a schedule, hashed, stored and ranked by software, then checked by a quality gate before it is published. If a refresh fails that gate the previous snapshot stays live and a person looks at why. Every past snapshot is kept, which is what makes the rank-history charts on each ranking page possible.
