Poland Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Poland-specific data from the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD), maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). It provides validated annual estimates for two primary metrics: the number of people living in displacement at year-end (IDP stock) and the count of new displacement incidents (new displacements). The data is aligned with the 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement and was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in new displacement incidents based on the 'New Displacements' metric.
• Model the long-term stock of displaced populations based on the 'People Displaced' or 'Stock' figures.
• Compare displacement drivers (conflict, disasters) using the validated annual estimates from the GIDD.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, standardized metrics: stock and new displacement flows.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for open use and sharing.

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.
