Andorra Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

The Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) provides validated annual estimates of internal displacement worldwide, maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). It tracks two primary metrics: the year-end stock of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and the flow of new displacement incidents. The dataset for Andorra was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in new displacement incidents based on the 'New Displacements' metric.
• Model the long-term stock of displaced populations based on the 'People Displaced' or 'Stock' figures.
• Compare displacement drivers by correlating data with events of conflict or natural disasters.
• Assess humanitarian needs by tracking the number of people living in displacement at year-end.

Strengths

• Data is validated and maintained by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, standardized metrics: stock (year-end IDPs) and flow (new displacement incidents).
• Uses the internationally recognized 1998 Guiding Principles definition of an Internally Displaced Person (IDP).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The 'New Displacements' metric counts incidents, not unique individuals, which may complicate per-capita analysis.
