Does this validate the rank-size rule?
No, Haiti doesn't validate the rank-size rule because Port-au-Prince is more than 3 times bigger (it's a primate city) than Delmas-73. Also Pétionville, Port-de-Paix, and Croix-des-Bouquets are all very close in size so that also invalidates the rule. Even though Port-de-Paix and Croix-des-Bouquets are kind of close to their estimates, Haiti doesn't follow the rank size rule.
