Austria Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Austria-specific data from the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD), maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). It provides annual estimates of new displacement incidents and the stock of internally displaced persons (IDPs), defined in line with the 1998 Guiding Principles. The dataset was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Modeling trends in forced migration based on annual new displacement incident counts.
• Analyzing the long-term humanitarian burden based on year-end IDP stock figures.
• Comparing displacement drivers (conflict, disasters) using the displacement cause framework described.
• Validating displacement estimates for Austria against other sources using the IDMC's methodology.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, standardized metrics: new displacement incidents and year-end IDP stock.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, permitting sharing and adaptation with attribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is in the future (2026-03-18).
