These are field estimates from IOM Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) baseline rounds, activated in Syria from February 2025 after the December 2024 shift — not a registration of individuals. They count internally displaced persons and returnees per governorate per round, and figures are revised round to round. They differ methodologically from UNHCR registration counts, so the two should not be summed or directly compared.

Market prices collected monthly by the World Food Programme from market monitors since 2011. Sanad publishes, per governorate, the median of that governorate's market prices for the month — not a single market and not below the governorate. SYP and USD are separate series (USD is converted at the exchange rate at collection time). Some values are WFP "aggregate" figures. Unofficial/parallel-market exchange rates are not included.

These are national electricity indicators for Syria compiled by Ember from official and international sources, with some values estimated or modelled to fill gaps, and are not governorate-level measurements. Generation and demand data measure electricity produced and consumed on the grid, and may not fully capture the private generators widespread during the electricity crisis. Values are annual and national.

Standardized national humanitarian indicators from the OCHA Centre for Humanitarian Data. The INFORM Risk Index is a 0–10 composite of hazard, vulnerability, and coping capacity, updated yearly (CC BY). People-in-need and targeted figures come from the Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO): "in need" is the total requiring assistance and "targeted" is whom the response plans to reach — both are planning estimates, not a census (CC BY-IGO 3.0). Values are national.
