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.
