Germany Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Annual estimates of internal displacement in Germany, tracking both the stock of people living in displacement at year-end and the flow of new displacement incidents. The data is maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) and follows the 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement. It was last updated on March 18, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement trends over time based on annual estimates.
• Analyzing the impact of conflict and natural disasters on internal displacement flows.
• Comparing stock and flow metrics to understand long-term displacement versus new incidents.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Distinguishes between population stock and new displacement flows, accounting for multiple displacements.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for open use.

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).
