Belize Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Annual estimates of internal displacement in Belize, provided by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). The data includes two primary metrics: the number of new displacement incidents and the year-end stock of internally displaced persons (IDPs). The dataset was last updated on March 18, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement trends over time based on annual estimates
• Analyzing the impact of conflict or natural disasters on displacement flows mentioned in the description
• Estimating humanitarian resource needs based on the stock of internally displaced persons
• Comparing displacement incidents versus the number of people displaced, as the metrics are distinct

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, defined metrics: new displacement incidents and year-end IDP stock.
• 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.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update date is in the future (2026-03-18).
