Réunion Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

The Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre provides validated 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 for Réunion is sourced from this global database and was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in new displacement incidents based on the 'New Displacements' metric.
• Model the year-end population living in displacement based on the 'IDPs' stock figure.
• Compare displacement drivers (conflict, disasters) using the displacement cause definitions from the 1998 Guiding Principles.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Distinguishes between population stock and flow metrics, as described in the methodology.
• Available under the open CC-BY-3.0-IGO license.

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 23:36:30.103223.
