Volume

Nottingham is one of the highest-volume asylum support areas in the UK

Nottingham ranks 10 nationally and 1 in East Midlands for supported asylum count, placing it around the 98th percentile of local authorities by volume.

Intensity

Intensity is stronger than the raw count alone suggests

The supported asylum rate here is 48.48 per 10,000 residents, around the 99th percentile nationally. This matters because smaller places can carry a sharper load than bigger city totals imply.

Accommodation model

The local picture leans more toward dispersal than contingency pressure

245 people are in contingency accommodation here, around 15.3% of the supported asylum population and roughly the 88th 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 route metrics

The area profile should show route composition, not force users to infer it from a single asylum count.

Local reading East Midlands

How this place reads in context

Nottingham sits 10 nationally by supported asylum count and 1 within East Midlands. The raw volume is 1,605, but the rate of 48.48 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 418. 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.

East Midlands as a whole currently carries 7,829 people on supported asylum, with a weighted regional rate of 15.46 per 10,000 residents. This page puts Nottingham inside that wider regional pressure field instead of treating it as an isolated case.

Hotel evidence for this place

Place pages should merge live route data with the named and unnamed hotel evidence already on the public record.

Evidence gap
