Anguilla Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Annual estimates of internal displacement in Anguilla, maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). The data tracks two primary metrics: the year-end stock of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and the flow of new displacement incidents. The dataset is validated and aligns with the 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement drivers based on conflict and disaster triggers mentioned in the description.
• Analyzing long-term displacement trends based on validated annual stock figures.
• Estimating humanitarian needs based on new displacement incident counts, which account for multiple displacements per person.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, standardized metrics: stock of IDPs and flow of new displacement incidents.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, permitting open use with attribution.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column definitions are unknown, requiring manual inspection after download.
• Geographic coverage is limited to Anguilla; broader regional analysis requires combining other datasets.
