Haiti does not have a single territorial reference set, but several vintages that coexist:
Exact wording: this version of the Explorer covers the 140 communes of the 2018 CNIGS reference set. More recent vintages recognise additional communes. A territory absent from 2018 is not a territory that does not exist — it is absent from that vintage.
For the Ouest department: the 2018 CNIGS reference set contains 20 communes. This number may differ in more recent reference sets. We obtained it by counting this file, not by taking it from a third party.
The vintage correspondence table (CSV, 192 entities) gives, for each territory, its Atmart identifier, its p-code, its vintage, its validity dates and a divergence note. Today it holds only the 2018 vintage: the others will be added when we have the official files, not before.
We do not pick a number in silence: the explorer counts what the reference set it loads actually contains, and names it. Communes created after 2018 will be added with their validity dates as soon as an official reference set publishes them with their codes, without rewriting history.

Two to four territories side by side — communes, arrondissements or departments. Every value carries its reference year, and comparisons across different years are flagged rather than smoothed over.
Departments and arrondissements have no values of their own: they are aggregated from their communes according to the rule written in the dictionary, and the number of documented communes is shown alongside. The + button adds a territory to the comparison.
It shows the information currently documented by Atmart Data — not everything that exists about a commune. Everything runs in your browser: four public files and one map outline, no application server, no account, no advertising tracker. An anonymous and aggregated audience measurement counts uses (a search happened) without ever knowing who or what — no cookie, no identifier, no IP address kept, and the text you type never leaves your browser: full method. What you see, you can download as is from the catalogue and recompute yourself.
The commune is the most detailed territorial level of the public edition. Communal sections, populated places and detailed polygons are available in the Haiti Geo Pack. Definitions, methods and quality statuses are set out on the Backbone page.
