Saint Martin Internal Displacement Data: Annual Stock and New Displacements

The Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) provides validated annual estimates of internal displacement worldwide, maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC). It tracks two primary metrics: the total number of people living in displacement at year-end (stock) and the number of new displacement incidents recorded (flows). This dataset focuses specifically on the French part of Saint Martin.

Use Cases

• Modeling long-term displacement trends based on annual stock figures.
• Analyzing the immediate impact of disasters or conflicts based on new displacement incidents.
• Comparing displacement dynamics across different geographic regions using the standardized GIDD methodology.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, standardized metrics: population stock and new displacement flows.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, allowing for 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.
