Portugal Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Annual estimates of internal displacement in Portugal, 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 follows the 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement. It 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 persons based on the 'People Displaced' or 'Stock' figures.
• Correlate displacement flows with conflict or natural disaster events mentioned in the description.
• Compare displacement patterns across years using the annual time-series data.

Strengths

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

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.
