Puerto Rico Conflict Events: Aggregated Political Violence and Demonstrations

Aggregated counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstration events in Puerto Rico, organized by country-year and country-month. Produced by the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED), the data is updated weekly to track conflict trends.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in political violence using country-month event counts
• Correlating annual demonstration totals with civilian-targeting event frequencies
• Monitoring longitudinal shifts in reported conflict intensity within the region

Strengths

• Aggregated by country-year and country-month for longitudinal analysis
• Sourced from ACLED, a specialized organization for conflict monitoring
• Categorizes events into specific types such as civilian-targeting and demonstrations

Limitations

• Aggregated format lacks granular coordinates or specific actor names
• Full event-level details are gated behind external registration
• Geographic scope is restricted solely to Puerto Rico
