Pakistan Internal Displacements: New Displacement Incidents and IDP Stock Figures

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

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement risk based on conflict and disaster events mentioned in the description
• Analyzing long-term trends in internal displacement figures for Pakistan
• Estimating humanitarian resource needs based on validated stock and flow displacement metrics

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct metrics: new displacement incidents and year-end population stock.
• 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.
• Freshness should be verified as the last update timestamp is 2026-03-18.
