Armenia Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Annual estimates of internal displacement in Armenia, validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). The data tracks two primary metrics: the stock of people living in displacement at year-end and the flow of new displacement incidents. This dataset, last updated in March 2026, is a key resource for analyzing long-term displacement trends resulting from conflict, violence, and disasters.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement trends over time based on annual stock and flow figures.
• Analyzing the impact of conflict or natural disasters on internal displacement patterns.
• Correlating displacement flows with external events mentioned in the description, such as armed conflict or generalized violence.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Distinguishes between population stock and new displacement flows, a key methodological feature.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, permitting open use with attribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
