What can this source tell us—and what can it not?

These series cover populations registered or otherwise recorded within the categories included in UNHCR statistics; they are not a census of every displaced person. Data comes primarily from governments and UNHCR operations, and coverage varies by country and population category, so unregistered displacement is not fully counted.
