Albania Internal Displacement Data: New Displacement Incidents and IDP Stock

Albania-specific data from the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) provides annual estimates of internal displacement. The dataset includes two primary metrics: the number of people living in displacement at year-end (IDP stock) and the count of new displacement incidents (new displacements). It is maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling annual trends in new displacement incidents based on the 'New Displacements' metric.
• Analyzing the year-end stock of internally displaced persons (IDPs) for humanitarian planning.
• Correlating displacement flows with conflict or disaster events mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Distinguishes between population stock and flow metrics, as described.
• Released under the CC-BY-3.0-IGO license for open use.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
