Volume

York is outside the top ten by volume, but still carries a material local load

York ranks 119 nationally and 13 in Yorkshire and The Humber for supported asylum count, placing it around the 67th percentile of local authorities by volume.

Intensity

The rate picture is important, even where the headline count is lower

The supported asylum rate here is 13 per 10,000 residents, around the 62th percentile nationally. This matters because smaller places can carry a sharper load than bigger city totals imply.

Accommodation model

A large share of support is sitting in contingency accommodation

260 people are in contingency accommodation here, around 95.6% of the supported asylum population and roughly the 89th percentile by contingency count.

Visibility

The hotel layer is still mostly invisible in public records here

No named current site or unnamed acknowledged count is attached to this area yet, which is itself a reminder that absence of public evidence is not evidence of absence.

Local reading Yorkshire and The Humber

How this place reads in context

York sits 119 nationally by supported asylum count and 13 within Yorkshire and The Humber. The raw volume is 272, but the rate of 13 per 10,000 residents gives a cleaner sense of local intensity than the headline count on its own.

Homes for Ukraine is the largest non-asylum pathway in this area at 436. That matters because the local story is not just about one route family; it is about how asylum support, humanitarian schemes, and historic resettlement stack together in one place.

Yorkshire and The Humber as a whole currently carries 9,748 people on supported asylum, with a weighted regional rate of 17.18 per 10,000 residents. This page puts York inside that wider regional pressure field instead of treating it as an isolated case.
