Scale first
Use total to see where the largest supported-asylum stock sits before you narrow into one authority.
Start with regions, then open places.
This is now the front door. Use the regional map to find pressure, then open local authority pages to keep count, rate, contingency accommodation, and any public hotel evidence on one reading surface.

Read the regional map first
Regions tell you where pressure sits before you zoom into a single authority. Use total for scale, rate for intensity, and hotel visibility to see where the local place layer already carries evidence.

Use this page
Use the place layer in three moves
Start broad, then go local, then reach for the deeper notebooks only when the place page no longer answers the question.
Read the regional map before opening a single place page
The map tells you where supported asylum is concentrated by total and by rate, so you do not mistake one large city for the whole geography.
Open a region page, then move into the places inside it
Each region page now acts as the bridge between the national map and individual local authorities, so the place layer no longer feels like one long national list.
Use the secondary notebooks for raw ledgers and deeper investigations
The compare, hotels, money, and actor pages still exist, but they now sit behind the place layer instead of acting as the first route through the site.
Browse by region
Each region card gives the regional total, the rate, the visible hotel footprint inside the published place layer, and the first authorities worth opening.
