    What makes some internally displaced? Seems like the housing market is taking care of that.

      IDPs are refugees who don’t need to leave the country. So for example all the Hurricane Katrina survivors who had to go live in FEMA trailers, (some who still are too), are IDPs.

      And yes you can have economic refugees and internally displaced people.
