Nighttime-lights total luminosity (VIIRS Sum of Lights) fell to 6,427.5 nW/cm²/sr (summed over lit pixels) in July 2026, from 7,309.9 nW/cm²/sr (summed over lit pixels) in June 2026.

Total nighttime luminosity for Haiti, measured as the Sum of Lights: the satellite radiance summed across the lit pixels in each area. It is an additive measure, so the departments add up to the national total. The series is reported for the country as a whole, the ten departments, and the main cities, and can be viewed in levels, as a year-on-year percentage change, or indexed to a base period.

Latest value: 6,427.5 nW/cm²/sr (summed over lit pixels) (2026-07)

Methodology

Coverage Satellite measurements of how much light Haiti emits at night, from NASA's Black Marble product at blackmarble.gsfc.nasa.gov. Where conventional statistics are thin, night lights stand in for economic and electricity activity. They are a proxy, and the distance between them and output is discussed below.
