Venezuela Internal Displacement Data: New Displacements and IDP Stock

Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of) data from the Global Internal Displacement Database (GIDD) provides annual estimates of internal displacement. The dataset, maintained by the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), tracks two primary metrics: the stock of people living in displacement at year-end and the flow of new displacement incidents. It uses definitions aligned with the 1998 Guiding Principles on Internal Displacement.

Use Cases

• Modeling annual trends in new displacement incidents based on the 'New Displacements' flow metric.
• Analyzing the long-term humanitarian burden based on the year-end 'People Displaced' stock figures.
• Correlating displacement figures with conflict or natural disaster events mentioned in the description.

Strengths

• Data is validated by the authoritative Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC).
• Tracks two distinct, standardized metrics (stock and flow) for displacement analysis.
• License is CC-BY-3.0-IGO, permitting open sharing and adaptation.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and specific temporal coverage are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
