Haiti consists of approximiately 10,641 sq. miles. Doing some quick math, 10,641 sq. miles = 296,654,054,400 sq. feet.
With a population of 10,000,000 this works out to 29.6 sq. ft for every man, woman and child. Yes, every person on the island has less than 30 sq. ft. This includes uninhabitable land as well, so the number is likely significantly less than 30 sq. ft.
I come up with 29,665 per person, or 0.681 acres per person. About 939 people per square mile, that is over ten times our population density.

I come up with 29,665 per person, or 0.681 acres per person. About 939 people per square mile, that is over ten times our population density. But there are about 40 other countries with a greater population density than Haiti.
For starters here are a few: Bermuda, Malta, Taiwan, Mauritius, Barbados, South Korea, Netherlands, Belgium, Israel, Japan, El Salvador, Guam, India.
Some of these countries have a density more than twice that of Haiti. Taiwan is just slightly larger in land mass but has a population density approaching 2,000 people per square mile.
Haiti's primary problem isn't its land mass, it is the Haitians and their culture.
