- Calculation
- Rows are summed to a present-IDP figure per area and round, then the latest round is compared with the preceding round of the same operation. Areas present in only one of the two rounds are reported as such and are never treated as zero.
Known limitations
- An area that disappears between rounds may have ceased to be assessed rather than ceased to host displacement.
- A newly reported area may be newly affected or newly assessed. The API does not distinguish between these.
- Threshold bands are MOSAIC monitoring settings and are not calibrated to this country's assessment cadence.

- Calculation
- Present IDP figures are summed across all disaggregated source rows for each area, then across areas, for every round of the selected operation.
Known limitations
- Figures may be estimates derived from key informants and secondary sources rather than exact enumeration.
- Assessment coverage and cadence vary by country and operation, so cross-country comparison of change rates is not supported.
- A change in a recorded figure may reflect population movement, altered assessment coverage, changed access, or enumeration method, and the API does not distinguish between these.
- The public API exposes aggregated non-sensitive figures only, and does not carry the full detail of the underlying DTM datasets.

Known limitations
- Only areas assessed in the latest round appear. An unassessed area is absent, not zero.
- Bar length encodes the reported figure only. It carries no information about area size, population or need.

Anomaly signalsMOSAIC-derived
Areas whose latest figure moved unusually relative to their own recent history in this operation. Each signal names the rule that fired and the evidence behind it. A signal is a cue for collection, not a finding.

- Calculation
- Transparent statistical rules applied to each area's own trailing series within the operation. No model is fitted and no learned parameters are used.
Known limitations
- An anomaly can be produced by a change in assessment coverage or method rather than by population movement.
- Areas with short histories are flagged as low quality because normal variation cannot be characterised.
- The public API supplies no adjacency graph, so no claim of spatial contiguity is made.

Geographic concentrationMOSAIC-derived
Displacement is comparatively dispersed across 6 assessed units, with 91.6 per cent in the largest 3.
| Area | Present IDPs | Share |
|---|---|---|
| Tillabéri | 201,548 | 41.0% |
| Diffa | 188,938 | 38.5% |
| Tahoua | 59,675 | 12.1% |
Normalised concentration index: 0.201 on a zero-to-one scale across 6 assessed areas.

- Calculation
- Concentration is computed over the administrative units reported in the selected round of the selected DTM operation. It uses the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index of unit shares, normalised so that zero is an even distribution across assessed units and one is total concentration in a single unit. Units not assessed in the round are absent from the calculation, so a narrowing of assessment coverage will raise measured concentration without any population movement.
Known limitations
- Concentration rises mechanically when assessment coverage narrows, with no population movement required.

- 6
- Assessed areas, baseline
- 4
- Rounds in operation
- 5
- Median round interval
- 578 days
- 2 administrative units appear in the latest round without a prior observation. A first appearance produces no momentum value.
Confidence derivation
The change rests on two comparable consecutive rounds within one operation, with stable assessment coverage and a recent reporting date.
- −10: Assessed-unit count changed between the two rounds
- −5: Latest assessment is between three and six months old
- −8: Between three and five observations of this unit in the operation

- Calculation
- MOSAIC confidence describes how well a change is grounded in comparable DTM observations. It begins at 100 and applies fixed deductions for missing baselines, non-consecutive rounds, coverage changes, short unit histories and assessment age. It is a statement about data comparability and recency only. It carries no claim about the cause of a change.
Known limitations
- Confidence describes data comparability and recency only. It carries no claim about the cause of a change.
