Saint Kitts and Nevis Internal Displacement Data from IDMC

The Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) provides validated annual estimates of internal displacement. This dataset for Saint Kitts and Nevis includes figures for people living in displacement at year-end and counts of new displacement incidents. The data is licensed under CC-BY-3.0-IGO and was last updated on 2026-03-18.

Use Cases

• Analyzing long-term displacement trends based on annual stock figures.
• Modeling the impact of natural disasters or conflict based on new displacement incident counts.
• Comparing displacement patterns in small island states using validated international metrics.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct metrics: year-end population stock and new displacement incidents.
• Uses a standardized definition aligned with the 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement.

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 bias inherent to the source platform.
