Protracted Crisis report: Impact of the Haiti crisis on population mobility (November 2024 to February 2025)

Key observations (November 2024 to February 2025)

1. 1ere Section Turgeau in Port-au-Prince and 1ere Section St. Martin in Delmas experienced very large population decreases (-9,080 and -7,180 respectively) from November 2024 to February 2025 (and especially in November 2024)
   a. Turgeau decreased mostly due to relocations within the ZMPAP, while the decrease in Saint-Martin resulted from relocations with communal sections both within and outside of the ZMPAP.
2. The population of most other sections of the ZMPAP increased, particularly in 5e Section Bellevue Chardonnière in Pétion-Ville (+3,380), and 3e Section Bellevue in Tabarre (+2,170), due to relocations within the ZMPAP (Table 1.1) and most from St-Martin and Turgeau (Figure 1.1)
3. Generally, population change in communal sections of the ZMPAP has been driven by internal mobility within the ZMPAP (Table 1.1)
4. Our data do not show movements within each communal section and cannot be directly compared with the latest DTM reports for this reason (ETT 57.3), but the communal sections with the largest population decreases (Turgeau and St Martin) are those affected by armed violence, as well as those with the highest reported displacements and site closures according to DTM.

Population changes within sections of the ZMPAP can be sudden; to put the latest months into perspective with the last Ëve years, please see page 2. Overall, the population of the ZMPAP decreased from November 2024 to February 2025, but only by 6,630 people (see p.3 for the mobility between the ZMPAP and the rest of Haiti, and p.4 for a Ëve-year perspective on population change in the ZMPAP and in the six other large urban areas).
