Quarter-end stock, not throughput
Supported asylum counts show how many people were receiving support at the end of the period. They are not new claims, arrivals, or the number of distinct people seen across the period.
Broxbourne
Official local-authority snapshot as at 2025-12-31. This page keeps live route data and local hotel evidence on one place-level surface so pressure can be read in context. Supported asylum here means people on support at that quarter end, not the number of different people whose claims were processed locally, and not a one-word substitute for the backlog.

How to read the asylum numbers here
A flat or slowly moving local line does not prove the same people stayed on support, and it does not prove claims were not being processed. It only shows the quarter-end stock that remained on support, which overlaps with but is not identical to the awaiting-decision backlog.
Support is not the same thing as the backlog
People awaiting an initial decision and people on asylum support overlap, but they are not identical groups. Some supported people are further into appeals or on other support routes, while some people awaiting an initial decision are not in the published support count.
Processing and exits move the stock
The stock changes when people enter support and when they leave it through case progression, including grants, refusals, withdrawals, departures, or moves out of the published support categories.
Flat local lines can still hide churn
A place hovering around the same level can mean low movement, or heavy turnover with inflows offset by exits. The published local tables do not show how many different people passed through support in that area.
Quarter-end supported asylum stock in Broxbourne
Quarter-end stock series to Dec 2025. A rise or fall is a net change in the number of people on support at period end, not the number of new claims or distinct people moving through the caseload. Support stock also overlaps with, but is not identical to, the awaiting-decision backlog.

Editorial readout
These cards translate the data into the most defensible local claims the site can make right now.
Volume
Broxbourne is outside the top ten by volume, but still carries a material local load
Broxbourne ranks 102 nationally and 6 in East of England for supported asylum count, placing it around the 72th percentile of local authorities by volume.
Intensity
Intensity is stronger than the raw count alone suggests
The supported asylum rate here is 35.43 per 10,000 residents, around the 92th 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
311 people are in contingency accommodation here, around 86.1% of the supported asylum population and roughly the 91th 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 East of England
How this place reads in context
Broxbourne sits 102 nationally by supported asylum count and 6 within East of England. The raw volume is 361, but the rate of 35.43 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 113. 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 of England as a whole currently carries 6,715 people on supported asylum, with a weighted regional rate of 10.21 per 10,000 residents. This page puts Broxbourne inside that wider regional pressure field instead of treating it as an isolated case.
