Dominica Internal Displacement Data: New Displacement Incidents and IDP Stock

Dominica's data from the Global Internal Displacement Database provides validated annual estimates of internal displacement. It tracks two primary metrics: the year-end stock of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and the flow of new displacement incidents, accounting for multiple displacements per person. The data is maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling long-term displacement trends based on validated annual stock figures.
• Analyzing the frequency of new displacement incidents, which counts events rather than unique individuals.
• Assessing the impact of natural disasters or conflict on internal population movements in Dominica.

Strengths

• Data is validated and maintained by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, standardized metrics: population stock and new displacement flows.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, permitting open sharing and adaptation.

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).
