Arcahaie, Haiti

Living in this Haitian town means dealing with a heavy bureaucracy and occasional gang violence. The commune of Arcahaie had a population of 130,306 as of 2015, and in 2024 the town was attacked by the Taliban gang, causing an unspecified number of casualties. Persistent safety concerns and a history of unrest make Arcahaie a challenging place to call home. Unless you're prepared to navigate a complex local government and the risk of crime, this is likely not the ideal spot for most expats.
