Peru Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Annual estimates of internal displacement in Peru, 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 follows the 1998 Guiding Principles definition of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). It was last updated on March 18, 2026, and serves as a validated resource for understanding long-term displacement trends.

Use Cases

• Modeling displacement trends over time based on annual estimates.
• Analyzing the impact of conflict and natural disasters on internal displacement flows.
• Correlating new displacement incidents with external event data for causal analysis.
• Estimating the long-term population stock of IDPs for resource planning.

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 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.
• Data may reflect geographic or temporal bias inherent to the collection methodology.
