Carrefour ((ハイチ語:Kafou); ) is a largely residential commune in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area. The city had a population of 373,916 at the 2003 Census, and was officially estimated to have grown to 465,019 inhabitants in 2009. It is mostly a bedroom community for those who work in central Port-au-Prince. The neighborhood is very poor and ill-serviced, however, as of recently, small-scale construction has gone on in the area along with street renovations. Before the exile of Jean-Claude Duvalier, Carrefour was viewed as a Haitian tourist destination.
