Use Cases

• Modeling long-term displacement trends based on annual stock figures.
• Analyzing the frequency of new displacement incidents triggered by conflict or disaster.
• Comparing displacement metrics for Moldova against regional or global datasets.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Distinguishes between population stock and new displacement incidents, a key methodological feature.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, permitting open use with attribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
