relocatee

Someone who moved

A relocatee is a person who has been relocated, typically by government action or institutional policy rather than personal choice.

The term appears most often in contexts of forced displacement—people moved from their homes for dam construction, military base expansion, or urban renewal projects: The relocatees received compensation for their flooded farmland.
