Norway Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Annual estimates of internal displacement in Norway, tracking both new displacement incidents and the total population living in displacement at year-end. The data is maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) and aligns with the 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement. It was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Analyzing trends in new displacement incidents based on the 'New Displacement' metric.
• Estimating the year-end population requiring humanitarian assistance based on the 'People Displaced' stock figures.
• Modeling displacement drivers by correlating annual displacement figures with conflict or disaster events.
• Assessing long-term displacement trends using the validated annual estimates provided.

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 population stock.
• 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.
