Chile Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Chile-specific data from the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) provides annual estimates of internal displacement. The dataset includes two primary metrics: the year-end stock of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and the count of new displacement incidents. It is maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

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

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Distinguishes between population stock and new displacement incidents, 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.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is in the future (2026-03-18).
