Ecuador Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Annual estimates of internal displacement in Ecuador are provided by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). The data tracks two primary metrics: the stock of people living in displacement at year-end and the flow of new displacement incidents. The dataset was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Modeling trends in new displacement incidents based on annual flow data.
• Analyzing the long-term stock of internally displaced persons (IDPs) as described in the summary.
• Correlating displacement figures with external drivers like conflict or natural disasters mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Distinguishes between population stock and new displacement flows, 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.
