Paraguay Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Paraguay data from the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) provides annual estimates of internal displacement. It tracks two primary metrics: the year-end stock of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and the flow of new displacement incidents. The data is maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling long-term displacement trends based on validated annual estimates.
• Analyzing the impact of conflict and disasters on new displacement incidents.
• Tracking the stock of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) at year-end for population assessments.

Strengths

• Data is validated and maintained by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Distinguishes between population stock and new displacement flows, accounting for multiple displacements.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, permitting open sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• Row count and specific column definitions are unknown, requiring inspection after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
