Last I heard it was 717.
230,000 died as a result of the earthquake.
There is an estimation of 830,000 people killed.
There have been many devastating earthquakes over the years. Some of the worst and most massive earthquakes have been the 1976 Tangshan earthquake that killed between 240,000 and 655,000 people. Another massive one was the 1556 Shaanxi earthquake which killed 830,000 people. The largest earthquake to be measured on a seismograph was the 1960 Chilean Earthquake which was a 9.5 magnitude.
the people were affected by they lost their homes
The Shaanxi Earthquake in 1556 is estimated to have had a magnitude of around 8 on the Richter Scale. However, it occurred before the Richter Scale was developed, so this magnitude is an estimate based on historical records.
Approximately 1,000-1,500 people were killed in the Great Chilean Earthquake that occurred on May 22, 1960.
230,000 died as a result of the earthquake.

No people were killed in the Illinois earthquake of Feb. 10, 2010. The 3.8 quake was not life threatening.
The worst in term of casualties was the 1906 San Francisco earthquake where it is estimated that more than 3,000 people were killed. The worst in terms of magnitude was the 1964 Alaskan earthquake which had a magnitude of 9.2 making it the 3rd largest earthquake ever recorded by man.
An estimated three million people were affected by the quake; the Haitian government reported that an estimated 316,000 people had died, 300,000 had been injured and 1,000,000 made homeless
There was precisely 1,583,785. ew why would you want to know this. you're weird
It is possible to estimate the number of survivors based on the population of Haiti and the estimated number of people killed (please see the related question).Haiti's population is approximately 9 million (9,035,536 to be precise) and 230,000 people are estimated to have been killed.As such an estimated 8.7 million people survived the earthquake.
No. It is neither the most powerful nor most destructive (in terms of number of deaths). The most powerful earthquake ever was the Valdivian / Great Chilean Earthquake of 1960 (9.5 on Richter scale) and the most destructive was the Shaanxi, China earthquake of 1556 which supposedly killed 850 thousand people. Today's earthquake in comparison was 8.9 on the Richter scale and so far 300 people have been confirmed dead and 500 more missing.
