Greece Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) estimates for Greece track forced migration within the country. The dataset provides two primary metrics: the year-end stock of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and the annual flow of new displacement incidents. It is maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling the impact of conflict or disasters on displacement flows based on the new displacement incidents metric.
• Analyzing long-term displacement trends based on the year-end stock of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs).
• Comparing displacement drivers (conflict, violence, disasters) based on the dataset's scope as described.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Distinguishes between population stock and flow metrics, as described.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for 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.
