Italy Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Annual estimates of internal displacement in Italy, tracking both new displacement incidents and the year-end stock of internally displaced persons (IDPs). 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

• Analyze trends in new displacement incidents in Italy based on the 'New Displacement' metric.
• Model the long-term stock of internally displaced persons (IDPs) based on year-end population figures.
• Compare displacement drivers (conflict, disasters) using the validated displacement figures from the GIDD database.

Strengths

• Data is validated and maintained by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, standardized metrics: new displacement incidents and year-end IDP stock.
• 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.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
