Indonesia Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Indonesia-specific data from the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) provides annual estimates of internal displacement. The dataset includes two primary metrics: the number of people living in displacement at year-end (IDP stock) and the count of new displacement incidents (new displacements). It is maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in new displacement incidents based on the 'New Displacements' metric.
• Model the long-term stock of internally displaced persons (IDPs) based on year-end population figures.
• Correlate displacement flows with conflict or natural disaster events based on the dataset's described causes.
• Compare displacement figures across years to assess the scale of humanitarian crises.

Strengths

• Data is validated and maintained by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Distinguishes between population stock and flow metrics, accounting for multiple displacements.
• 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.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
