Romania Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Romania-specific data from the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) provides annual estimates of internal displacement. The dataset includes two primary metrics: the year-end stock of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and the count of new displacement incidents. It is maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) and was last updated in March 2026.

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.
• Assess the humanitarian impact of conflict or natural disasters based on displacement data.
• Compare displacement flows and stocks over time to evaluate policy interventions.

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, permitting reuse with attribution.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect geographic or temporal bias inherent to the source methodology.
