Croatia Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) data provides validated annual estimates of internal displacement in Croatia, tracking both new displacement incidents and the total number of people living in displacement at year-end. The dataset, last updated on 2026-03-18, is maintained by IDMC and aligns with the 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement. It serves as a resource for understanding displacement trends resulting from conflict, violence, human rights violations, and natural or human-made disasters.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement drivers based on conflict, violence, and disaster events mentioned in the description
• Analyzing long-term displacement trends based on validated annual stock and flow figures
• Assessing humanitarian needs based on the distinction between new displacement incidents and total IDP population

Strengths

• Data is validated annually by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC)
• Tracks two distinct metrics: new displacement incidents and year-end IDP stock
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for open use and sharing

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
