Volume

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

Bury ranks 89 nationally and 26 in North West for supported asylum count, placing it around the 76th 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 20.31 per 10,000 residents, around the 76th 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

No contingency accommodation is recorded for this area in the latest local-authority snapshot, which makes it structurally different from hotel-heavy pressure points.

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 North West

How this place reads in context

Bury sits 89 nationally by supported asylum count and 26 within North West. The raw volume is 404, but the rate of 20.31 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 277. 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.

North West as a whole currently carries 20,864 people on supported asylum, with a weighted regional rate of 26.97 per 10,000 residents. This page puts Bury 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

That does not mean the area has no hotel use. It means the ledger has no publishable public evidence row attached yet.
