Data Limitations & Caveats

Supported asylum seekers only. Counts are people in receipt of Section 95, Section 98 or Section 4 support. Asylum seekers not receiving Home Office support (for example those staying with family or friends without support) are not counted.
Snapshot, not flow. Figures are a point-in-time count as at 31 March 2026; they are revised in later quarterly releases.
"Hotel" means contingency hotel accommodation as categorised by the Home Office. Initial accommodation and other contingency accommodation are separate categories; hotels are reported separately in the published series from December 2022.
No per-capita adjustment. The table is not adjusted for local authority population, so larger councils naturally tend to rank higher.
Subsistence only means no accommodation. These people receive cash support but are not housed by the Home Office; they are included in each council's total.
Missing councils. Local authorities with no supported asylum seekers at the snapshot date do not appear in the published dataset.
