French Polynesia Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

The Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD), maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), provides validated annual estimates of internal displacement. This dataset focuses on French Polynesia, tracking two primary metrics: the year-end stock of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and the flow of new displacement incidents. The data is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO and was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Analyzing annual trends in new displacement incidents based on the 'New Displacements' metric.
• Modeling the year-end population stock of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) for resource planning.
• Correlating displacement flows with events like natural disasters or conflicts as referenced in the description.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, standardized metrics: population stock and new displacement flows.
• License is clearly stated as CC-BY-3.0-IGO.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Geographic coverage is limited to French Polynesia.
