What This Displacement Figure Means
This game compares forcibly displaced people relative to total population.
- The numerator comes from the World Bank's forcibly displaced people indicator and includes refugees, asylum-seekers, and internally displaced people under the source definition.
- The game scales that burden per 1,000 residents using total population.
- Raw totals tell you who is large. Per-capita burden tells you where displacement saturates everyday life.
Displacement stops sounding like a headline once it starts taking up a country-sized share of the denominator.
